Occupy Wall Street is a very interesting movement that I’ve been trying to follow ever since it spread from New York City overseas to affect London, Frankfurt, Madrid, Rome, Sydney, and Hong Kong. On October 15, this past Saturday, tens of thousands of people participated in the protests at Puerta del Sol Square in Madrid. The article goes on to discuss details behind the protests in the other countries listed as well. Thousands of people have participated in these protests from around the world and it seems as if these “occupy” protests have no chance of slowing down any time soon. Yet what I find most interesting is the most obvious question that has been left unanswered: What do these protests demand? I understand they’re against greed and capitalism but I have yet to hear of an actual demand or governmental suggestion over what should be done over this issue.
