One surmises he’s closer in spirit to Tea Partiers:

Using biggovernment.com plus other news sources, rapidly we painted an accurate picture of the groups training, leading, and organizing the “movement.” The movement is organized by anarchists, Code Pink, the American Communist movement, jihadists, anti-Israel, socialist, and anti- free enterprise interests. OWS folks are politically to the left of President Barack Obama.
At the Lech Walesa Institute Foundation in Warsaw, they were thankful to receive this information.
Based on our discussion and intervention, President Walesa is not going to get involved with the OWS. He is not comfortable with the “organizations” behind the movement. It was not a difficult discussion.

  4. I also think sometimes that Karl Marx was at heart an old fuddy-duddy that didn’t like all of that new-fangled capitalist economic opportunity that came with the onset of the Industrial Age and capitalist investment. He wanted to get everybody back to the good old days of Feudalism, minus the royalty and aristocrats. When you get right down to it, communism is nothing much more than Feudalism for the Industrial Age. Just look at the background of some of these guys, for example Engles and Lenin. They all came from wealthy families. Engles family were, I think, industrialists, while Lenin’s father was a wealthy landowner, with serfs.
