One thing is for sure, they have more approval than the Tea Party. A lot more, actually.
And protesting against the kleptocracy that is Wall Street and their congressional enablers so we have more of a political democracy is hardly Marxist. Though the results of this kleptocracy have certainly resulted in a multitude of things that Marx warned against, but that is another matter from the OWS movement itself being Marxist. And even if they are Marxist, I say so the hell what. It's no worse than the Tea Party holding a fascist/racist ideology, which a substantial portion of them do.
