Yes, very interesting. Also this comment:

Quote:

These changes in attitudes over a relatively short period of time may reflect the income and wealth inequality message conveyed by Occupy Wall Street protesters across the country in late 2011 that led to a spike in media attention to the topic.

Raising awareness of capitalism by name and its consequences may turn out to be the main achievement of the Occupy movement (they haven’t achieved any concrete reforms, not that some of them wanted to anyway). This raised awareness is certainly something that is making it easier for us to put across the case for socialism as a system of common ownership and democratic control with production for use not for the market and profit.
