I've been seeing people making statements around a "lack of direction","lack of focus", or "lack of a plan" of the occupiers and must state that this is not true.
Why are people coming together in this historic movement and moving us all forward? Because there is an overwhelming consensus that we, the people, have been and are being and without intervention will continue to be exploited, imprisoned, abused, and abandoned by the dominant culture.
It's not true that they don't have a goal. It's actually been clearly defined as starting the conversation.
Our world is full of problems, like poverty, inequity, suicide, and environmental destruction. It's vitally important to point out that government and big business have no idea how to solve these problems but you'll never hear that from them. The occupiers may not know how to solve these problems, but they do admit that, and they want to have a conversation about it so that we can find solutions together.
As Peter Senge said in The Fifth Discipline: "'Don't Know' is the heart of joining together to learn and co-create."
