The OWS needs to be realistic. It needs to demand the impossible!
"Be Realistic. Demand the Impossible!" - 1968 Paris Anarchist Slogan

Makes for a good bumper sticker, too.

4. The win win game
If this wave carries us to the end of the 1% class war against the 99% and we become 100% and begin another world, excellent.

If this wave goes not so far and the system adjusts more gradually with minor concessions, good. There will be more waves to come and surf along.

6. I'm thrilled to see some (any) resistance.
As long as those waves keep building it will be good. We are in a police state and I expect they will start clamping down as their patience wears. But at least this is a start - it has been a bleak 30+ years of very conservative rule.
