Welcome to The Blog of the People. 

Below you will find some pictures of a wonderful group of people known as Octi-pie. They are a group who have offered a platform for great conversation about the 99% and some delicious, free, homemade pies. Located in the downtown area of Dover, De, this group has offered people pie for several days now, only taking short breaks while out there. They offer not only free pie and good conversation though, oh no, they also offer some entertainment of the juggling variety. The young lads are out at Legislative Mall every day they can afford. 

Our young friends of Octi-Pie!!!!

Moving on to the Occupy Wall St. Movement.

Now I'm sure many of you have heard some nasty remarks regarding the Occupy Wall St. You have probably wondered "What is this whole thing about?" 

As a protester myself, I'm going to make it very, VERY simple for you. Corporate Greed! That simple. We are trying to get the government to listen  to us, THE PEOPLE, that things are unfair for the working class people. The People who are having to work 3-4 jobs just to survive. The People who are homeless, the People who have mental disorders who have had backs turned on them. The People who NEED Healthcare and can't afford it. The People who are tired of getting screwed by a government that doesn't listen and lied to by a media that doesn't care. Corporations buy and sell our Senate AND our Congress. Our Government gives money to these Corporations to move their companies across seas, gives them tax cuts even though they don't pay enough as it is, and in all honesty, the corporations just don't care about the little guy. "They will sell you the rope to hang themselves with if they can make a profit of it." Micheal Moore from the movie The Corporation. 

We do not hate the corporations however, but their ACTIONS AND the actions of the Government who lets them go. 

"They are Communists, Liberals, Marxists, Anarchists, Socialists, Dirty Pot Smoking Hippies."

Hmm, I'm going to break this down. To start with Yes, SOME are, but not everyone falls into one of these categories. People are using Communism, Socialism, Marxism, Anarchism and any other form of government they don't agree with as a derogatory term. Here's the definitions of the different isms as the dirty pot smoking hippy this isn't even really a relative set of terms to classify anyone by.

Communism- is a social, political and economic movement that aims at the establishment of a classless and stateless communist society structured upon common ownership of the means of production. This ideology significantly influenced the history of the 20th century, which witnessed intense rivalry between the "socialist world" (communist states) and the "capitalist world" (countries with market economy and democratic forms of government), culminated in the Cold War between the Eastern bloc and the "Free World".


Socialism- is an economic system in which the means of production are either state owned or commonly owned and controlled cooperatively; or a political philosophy advocating such a system.As a form of social organization, socialism is based on co-operative social relations and self-management; relatively equal power-relations and the reduction or elimination of hierarchy in the management of economic and political affairs.


Marxism- is an economic and socio-political worldview and method of socioeconomic inquiry that centers upon a materialist interpretation of history, a dialectical view of social change, and an analysis and critique of the development of capitalism. Marxism was pioneered in the early to mid 19th century by two German philosophers, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Marxism encompasses Marxian economic theory, a sociological theory and a revolutionary view of social change that has influenced socialist political movements around the world.


Anarchism- is generally defined as the political philosophy which holds the state to be immoral, or alternatively as opposing authority in the conduct of human relations. Proponents of anarchism (known as "anarchists") advocate stateless societies based on non-hierarchical voluntary associations.

Now you know the general definitions of these, none of these are "Naughty". They each have their positive attributes, so why use them in a derogatory manner? These are the same people who you work with, see on the bus, go to school with, see walking with their families and shopping at the mall with a kid. Do not insult them for standing up for their rights when they see something is wrong. They are exerting their first amendment right. If you don't agree with it, just keep silent and keep moving on, you must have so much more going for you with 4 jobs, 80 hr work weeks, and a pension that has probably been spent by the very company you work for, that is, if you have a pension.

I will show you the protests and general assemblies as they happen here in Delaware, no lies, no beating around the bush. I will also show you how people feel and the opinions of those as INDIVIDUALS AND as a GROUP as a WHOLE. I will post poems, songs, videos, photos or even testimonials and thoughts of those who wish to have their voice heard. It will be unedited, raw, and to some, offensive; but it will be the truth. Take it as you will at your own risk. 

THE PEOPLE UNITED CAN NEVER BE DIVIDED!!!!!!
