Occupy Davos?



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

If ever there was a group that deserved to be Occupied, it would be the ruling class types who meet at Davos every year. Most of them remain clueless about the world around them and are immune from the problems they've created thanks to owning the political class. With very few exceptions, it's an entitled and arrogant group that serves no purpose in this day and age other than providing a forum for the elite to have their egos stroked by other elite. Reuters:

A Swiss youth party called on activists on Sunday to stage an "Occupy" World Economic Forum protest from igloos when the global elite descend on the ski resort of Davos for their annual meeting in January.

Inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests, the youth wing of the Socialist Party (JUSO) invited occupy activists from around the world to set up a "Camp Igloo" in the Swiss mountain town from January 21 next year.

Occupy camps have sprung up in a number of cities across the world this year, protesting against corporate greed and economic inequality.
