QUIT FUCKING DANCING AROUND IT! He made a lot of noise about "corporate power" and "corporations" and "corporatism" and he even threw in "fascists" and "fascism". But he didn't NAME THE SYSTEMIC ENEMY! That was the problem with Occupy. They wouldn't name the enemy either and the system STILL crushed them.

It's capitalism. Don't pussyfoot around it. We have to smash CAPITALISM. If we do that, we take care of the corporations by default. To defeat any enemy, you first have to know WHO the enemy is AND you have to name it. It's CAPITALISM!
