Scott Borchert, Truthout: 'There are some very small similarities between Occupy and the Tea Party. Whereas Tea Partiers share a very general (albeit misdirected) rage against the political establishment, Occupy also expresses general distrust of the political-economic system. This, in my mind, is where the similarities end. On another level, the decentralized, leaderless orientation of Occupy is dramatically different from the largely centralized, heavily leader-oriented Tea Party phenomenon?. This is a dramatic difference between Occupy and the Tea Party.'

Occupy CUNY: Education Should Be Available to All

J.A. Myerson, Truthout: 'There are campuses of the City University of New York (CUNY) situated so far away from downtown Manhattan, global capital of the interests of wealth, that subways don t run anywhere near them, the subway stops of the financial district, by contrast, popping up every couple of blocks in any direction.... Uniting the students and teachers of the CUNY system Monday was resistance to the decision of the CUNY Board of Trustees ? to impose a five-year tuition surge of $300 a year.'
