Occupy Camelot, 932 A.D.

Even King Arthur had problems with the Occupy movement, although the Occupy Camelot gang at least had a coherent political philosophy:



Compare to what really is happening at New York's Zuccotti Park.

All belongings and money in the park are supposed to be held in common, but property rights reared their capitalistic head when facilitators went to clean up the park, which was looking more like a shantytown than usual after several days of wind and rain. The local community board was due to send in an inspector, so the facilitators and cleaners started moving tarps, bags, and personal belongings into a big pile in order to clean the park.

But some refused to budge. A bearded man began to gather up a tarp and an occupier emerged from beneath, screaming: “You’re going to break my [snip] tent, get that [snip] off!” Near the front of the park, two men in hoodies staged a meta-sit-in, fearful that their belongings would be lost or appropriated.

Animal Farm, live and in person.

This seems relevant, too.
