You can't evict an idea whose time has come.
From a statement posted on occupywallst.org at 1:30am:

"This burgeoning movement is more than a protest, more than an occupation, and more than any tactic."

<snip>

"Such a movement cannot be evicted. Some politicians may physically remove us from public spaces — our spaces — and, physically, they may succeed. But we are engaged in a battle over ideas. Our idea is that our political structures should serve us, the people — all of us, not just those who have amassed great wealth and power. We believe that is a highly popular idea, and that is why so many people have come so quickly to identify with Occupy Wall Street and the 99% movement."
