I haven't seen anything like this in the other boards so I'll post here with the hopes that things get sorted appropriately.
Rolling Stone Magazine has been covering OWS and the articles are quite informative. The latest issue contains two. The first link is opinion but a relatively short read:
www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/how-i-stopped-worrying-and-learned-to-love-the-ows-protests-20111110
Quoting: "Occupy Wall Street was always about something much bigger than a movement against big banks and modern finance. It's about providing a forum for people to show how tired they are not just of Wall Street, but everything. [...] What both [liberals and conservatives] missed is that OWS is tired of all of this. They don't care what we think they're about, or should be about. They just want something different. [...] Eventually the Occupy movement will need to be specific about how it wants to change the world. But for right now, it just needs to grow. And if it wants to sleep on the streets for a while and not structure itself into a traditional campaign of grassroots organizing, it should. It doesn't need to tell the world what it wants."
The second is a much longer article spread over three pages but is written from a more historical perspective:
