Addressing the meeting held on the occasion, Arun Kumar Singh, senior member of SUCI (Communist), Bihar State Committee, said, ‘’The gathering of people at Wall Street, the headquarters of financial institutions, in New York held on September 17 last is continued. The slogan ‘Occupy Wall Street’ expresses itself the people’s endeavour to identify the main enemy responsible for the present pitiable condition of theirs. This time the target of the movement is neither Gorge Bush nor Obama, but the owners of huge capital accumulated through exploitation of labour, the corporate giants. Standing on Wall Street the American people are raising their voice against the relief packages of crores of dollars given to corporate houses and heavily cutting down the expenses in health and education for the common people. On the one hand the wealth of the rich is expanding rapidly and the common people are turning into beggars day by day on the other. The unemployment is on the top. It has even surpassed the rate of unemployment assumed during the great recession of 1929. ’’

They wanted to overthrow capitalism, root cause of all human miseries. Their banners display ‘Capitalism is not working, another world is possible’ and we know ‘another world’ is Socialism, he added.
