"Everywhere
people are faced with a situation in which it doesn't matter anymore
who they vote for, because the economic policies will be the same as
long as our so-called "democratic" structures remain the same.
Occupy signifies a political impasse at which we all stand whether we
know it or not―an historical moment that is defined by the inability of
existing democratic structures to fulfil the democratic values we have
come to expect: equality, the ability to meet our most basic needs, and a
way to have a political voice in determining the most important
decisions that affect our lives."
