An “anti-something” movement displays a purely negative attitude. It has no chance whatever to succeed. Its passionate diatribes virtually advertise the program that they attack. People must fight for something that they want to achieve, not simply reject an evil, however bad it may be. They must, without any reservations, endorse the program of the market economy.

Occupy Wall Street & The Tea Party take note. The rEVOLution? Carry on folks.

Arguably, the point of the movement was to “raise alarm”, “change the discourse” and “call attention” to problems identified even by members of the right-wing establishment. I don’t quite understand why would anarcho-capitalists be so opposed to it. We don’t even have a “free functional market” to defend..
