One thing the Occupy movement needs to do is carry our flag as much as possible. We are the 99% and this flag belongs to us. We've let the wingnuts steal it from is. But the flag of the Union goes with the occupy movement just as much as Jesse's Union kepi.
Here's Jesse:
I think the kepi looks good on Jesse, but on other people (like me) it would just be silly. But there's an excellent plan B here. Have a look at this image, of the Lawrence Massachusetts textile strike in 1912.
Wow. The strikers are carrying 4 large flags, no guns, and the national guard has no flags, but lots of guns and bayonets.
This creates a spectacular and completely accurate instant impression that it is force that is being used against the American people.
Remember how they teargassed beloved Seattle activist Dorli Rainey, and she was helped by an Iraq war veteran standing next to her? Let them do that before the world in the face of our flag.
