Similarities between Occupy and Bastille movements

A march through a public street performs a public and political
function, even though it goes around in circles.
However, when you occupy or storm, that's a more clear
political activity.

You're filling a space as a base for presenting a more
permanent and thus a clearer message.
Occupying space, although it's peaceful, is a metaphor
for warfare. Space is a commodity that is traded between
countries as well.

A popular message from Occupy:

We don't have any weapons, this time.
