"Occupy Wall Street" The Left's Tea Party?

  Recently I was surfing the net and found that "Occupy Wall Street" is being compared to the Tea Party Movement.  I couldn't help but find it funny but then realized that there are many people who are beginning to believe this.  First of all, Stop.  They are nothing alike.  If they hold any resemblance to anything in history, look to the 1960's.

     During the 1960's the Youth had become upset with the Vietnam War (understandibly) and the authority of the College Administrations.  However what many don't know about these movements is that contrary to the Liberal flavor they were given, these Groups had NO exact ideology.  As Ayn Rand points out in her essay, "The Cashing-in: The Student "Rebellion"", the leaders of these movements were calling for "Changes".  One article from The New York Times was headed with the following, "The New Student Left: Movement Represents Serious Activists in Drive for Changes".  Never did these people say what the "Changes" were.

     Yes there were your Communists, Socialists, Trotskyists.  One student from Berkeley (go figure) was quoted as saying, "At present the Socialist world, even with all its problems, is moving closer than any other countries toward the sort of society I think should exist.  In the Soviet Union, it has almost been achieved."  (yeah, the whole Soviet thing worked out GREAT, that's why their still our #1 competitors)
   
     However, that wasn't the True feeling of all the Students.  Most of them were simply Anti-.  A young man was spoken to by The New York Times about the Communists section of the movement, "You might say we're A-communist, just as you might say we're A-moral and A-almost everything else."  This was the majority of the ideology, or rather Anti-ideology. 

     This is why I say "Occupy Wall Street" is like the 1960's Student Rebellion.   Many of the protesters when asked how much the top % of income earners should be taxed have replied, "I'm not the one who should decide that."  When asked what they want in Government, they simply respond that they want a "New" form of government.  They don't HAVE an ideology, the are A-ideological.  They lack a set of goals and desires to the point that they're having the agenda being voted on the INTERNET.  Yes, they stand against Wall Street, but NOT against any certain company, no certain person, no idea except "They have too much money."

     But then these are the Result of the 1960's "Rebellion".  Who do you suppose has been in College classrooms since then?  Who do you think took the opportunity to spread their ideas to the Future Generations by taking control of the Universities of this country?  It's the former Leaders of the "Rebellion" in the 1960's.  Francis Fox Piven, Bill Ayers, and Cass Sunstein.

     Now to why the Tea Party is Different.  Well, first of all, they actually have IDEALS.  They have their beliefs written out, to see it just type "U.S. Constitution" into your google search bar.  They have again and again stated what they want;
1.  Smaller and more Constrained government.  2.  Free markets with no subsidies, tax breaks, tax cuts or Bail outs.  3.  Legal Immigration.  4.  Equality rights for EVERYONE and no 1 race recieving more benefits than others.  

Unlike the "Occupy Wall Street", the Tea Party has a Goal.  They have an end Result.  They want the American Dream Back, they want their Liberties back, and they want their Constitution to be adhered to.  That is the Difference.  Like I said, "Occupy Wall Street" is nothing but the resurgence of the Student "Rebellions" of the 1960's.  Need I remind you how those worked out?
