Occupy in Armenia

The protests in Mashtots park were unrelated to Occupy movement. They were aimed against building of kiosks in the park.

I also asked one of the leaders of the movement about this; she was utterly bewildered to hear that and rejected the idea.

I am not familiar with editing Misplaced Pages. So, can anyone suggest, what should my actions be, when I spot false information, such as this one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tigosar (talk • contribs) 10:50, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Ultimate failure, and subsequent similar movements

Recently, France's "Yellow Vests" protests have been compared to Occupy Wall Street. Here are some sources which do that: (lots more in Google News).

I feel that this article in general is missing the bigger picture, and is sometimes written as if it was still early 2012. It mentions little, fairly hollow victories (e.g. that supposedly the Bank of England encouraged bankers and politicians "to behave in a more moral way"), but doesn't mention that its goals of reducing income inequality basically failed.

As the second article I linked to above notes: "However what most of the European governments and the Brussels did was to target the working class cutting wages and pensions, laying off thousands of workers, while big businesses, banks were going unpunished which avoided paying taxes, although the main reason for the financial crisis and the subsequent recession worldwide was their greed."

It seems pretty clear that future historians will view Occupy Wall Street as a symptom of widespread public anger about certain issues which failed to get them resolved at the time, but was perhaps a prelude to more consequential changes in the future (a little like the 1905 Russian Revolution was a prelude and practice run to 1917).

Origins of Occupy are in Egypt, not the U.S.

Occupy organizers in the U.S. explicitly took inspiration from occupiers in Tahrir Square in Egypt and from Arab Spring activists in Tunisia (http://occupywallst.org/forum/first-official-release-from-occupy-wall-street/). The first paragraph of this encyclopedia entry should make that fact more clear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.170.194.182 (talk) 17:33, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
