Occupy Wall Street began with an image. In July 2011, the Canadian
organisation Adbusters came up with a
striking poster of a ballerina,serenely perched atop the Wall St statue of a bull. It stated the date of the protest – September 17th – and
the hashtag that gave the movement its name - #occupywallstreet. But more
importantly, it asked the participants a very important question: What is our one demand? Ironically, this
is also what other commentators have been asking ever since, but that does not
mean that Occupy should have – or could have – given one such demand.
