OWS was run by anarchists. They had zero goals or leadership, and they actually seemed proud of that fact. It's kind of mind-boggling that they thought they could accomplish anything by simply camping out indefinitely.

In view of that, I really can't blame the identitarians for trying to co-opt. If they had won, there would've at least been goals and an agenda, instead of...sitting in tents all day.
