I wonder if it's a good idea to use labels like 'left' and 'right' rather than just 'right' and 'wrong'?

Once a movement is defined politically, it automatically excludes many people who might otherwise be interested. I think that is what OWS is about, not 'left' or 'right', just right or wrong.

I realize the article is written to make historical comparisons, so not criticizing the article, just pointing out that today's movement should be for everyone who is unsatisfied with the direction in which this country is going.
