Following the (temporary) removal of protestors from Zuccotti Park in NYC, Josh Busby's post on Occupy Wall Street (OWS) alerted me to this earlier NY Times article about the impact and future prospects of OWS.
Absent an overarching goal and any strong leadership (in social movement terms, weak mobilizing structure and no master frame), the movement may fizzle. OWS would loathe to hear this, but they could learn a thing or two from the Tea Party.
