I am writing to follow-up on Ministry of Truth's excellent diary on the Bailout the People Movement's March on Wall Street coming this April 3-4. Specifically, unless I'm missing something, it seems that 1) this action has not gained the traction it deserves, considering the economy, and 2) it risks espousing and attracting too many issues to have a meaningful impact on policies that attack the well-documented class warfare that has been accelerating for going on 30 years now. (My personal favorite resource being Kevin Phillips'"Wealth and Democracy".)
If I'm not missing something, then I believe the progressive movement could miss a huge opportunity to establish national populist progressive solidarity, which could provide the Presidwent with significant impetus and capital to further expose and take more direct, expansive action on class warfare. IMO, failure to take this opportunity on the part of the progressive community would be a foolish tragedy given the slaughter taking place around us and the potentially small window of opportunity in front of us to address roots causes: government policy, programs and regulatory inaction enabling concentration of wealth/economic injustice; traditional media complicity.
