About The Anti-Capitalism Aspect Of The Wall Street Protests

HotAir posted a story today that featured this ad from Craig’s List:

I realize it’s hard to read the small print, but the bottom line here is that you can get paid to make a difference by joining the Wall Street protests. Isn’t that capitalism?

This is a portion from the body of the add:

You must be an energetic communicator, with a passion for social and economic justice.  Only outgoing, articulate dedicated, determined candidates will be considered for the positions.

For those candidates that qualify WFP offers substantial paid-training provided by senior leadership, on varied issues such as: advocacy, public speaking, mobilizing, fundraising, networking and organizing. We invest in passionate people with excellent communication skills and a full benefits package is offered to those candidates that qualify. In addition, there is opportunity for advancement and travel to our satellite chapters and out of state affiliates.

This is not a policy job! Through direct action you will be shaping NY state politics for the next 20 years.

The article at Hot Air points out that generally ‘direct action’ means protesting.  More from the ad:

Compensation: $350-$650 A Week Depending On Responsibility & Length Of Time On Staff.

 The $350 a week works out to $8.75 an hour for a forty-hour week. Are these protesters working forty-hour weeks
