Again, I'm judging primarily on this particular 'call to action', which is by any definition incoherent and absurd. It has some limited measure of cohesion, which is to say it does follow some of the previous Tea Party rhetoric and makes sense grammatically, but in terms of coherence it makes no sense whatsoever. It's a collection of terms and slogans that I don't think the writers of that document even understand, judging by the way they use them, and the call for action is both absurd and inconsistent.
What's even more bizzare is that whatever issues the Occupy movement may have, the mainstream of it have been rather wary with using Marxist logic as such, in part for fear of discrediting their movement in the US which by any world standard is a politically-conservative, market-oriented, right-leaning society. Heck, a lot of what I've read out of the movement falls largely along the lines of laissez-faire market liberalism - thus the aim at big, politically-powerful business. It's at best a left-leaning libertarian stance. Very little of what I've heard from the Occupiers is actually in any sense socialist.
This TP statement, on the other hand, is a call for action that is ironically and hilariously radical-socialist and advocates the kind of class warfare and anti-market sentiment that the most die-hard Trotskyites would be proud of. Huh? That should speak volumes about coherence here. They can't even identify their own ideology and methods correctly - forget actually making sense.
