True. If they just stuck to the corruption angle and nothing else i think you would have 10's of thousands of people in the street right now.
It's the only thing that should be addressed as a unified front.
To simply say "capitalism sucks" or "corporations suck" is going to alienate so many people who would otherwise agree that drastic changes are needed in govt.
For instance-

If you read the comments below you will see just how many people agree with the basic premiseof these protests, it's astounding really.
But if they keep going off on tangents like "capital punishment," "poverty" (duh) etc., they will probably end up with large splinter groups totally against each other.
By now most people agree that capitalism in a social-democracy is the right way to go, the only thing lacking is a mechanism to thwart corruption...heh...
