Forum Post: Myth: #ows is a Marxist movement

This reactionary claim is demonstrably false. Any orthodox Marxist would see helping the poor through legislative means as simply prolonging the proletariat revolution. An orthodox Marxist would never do anything to help the poor, including participating in a movement such as #ows. He/she would view this as making a proletariat revolution less feasible.

What does this mean, then? The only Marxists participating in #ows, are REVISIONIST Marxists. These Marxists see a need to help the proletariat, rather than simply letting them be. If the only Marxists that are participating are revisionist Marxists, than how could the movement possibly be a Marxist movement?

Conclusion: Don't listen to that bullshit that reactionaries make up in order to put you guys down. These reactionaries are trying to label you as a fringe group, and this is false.
