The dirty hippie marxist movement is coming to city enters all over Finland. This is a highly organized (read= not grass roots) movement by big labour unions. Breaking the back of free market capitalism is the aim, Marxist socialism is the goal. KGS
MARXISTS: WORK FOR EVERYONE! (especially in the public sector)
YLE: Originating in New York, the Occupy Vallatkaa Wall Street demonstrations held today, Saturday, around the world. Union protests opposing unfair economic policies, politicians and big corporations will be held today in several Finnish cities. Events have been planned for city centers for Saturday, at least in Helsinki, Joensuu, Jyväskylä, Lahti, Tampere, Turku and Oulu.
Occupy Wall Street appears to be largely astroturf, with a few true believers attaching themselves to it. Why?
If they truly wanted to protest, they would not be protesting at Wall Street, given that Obama has raked in more money from Wall Street than any politician in the past 20 years:

We have a minister in the current government who has taken part in anti-globalization demonstration. Far left activist and former football hooligan, Paavo Arhinmäki is the minister of Cultural affairs.
Here’s video from Smash ASEM demonstration arranged in Helsinki in 2006. In that Arhinmäki is seen taking pictures of the police officers wearing his Palestinian scarf.
I hope the European protesters are more intelligent and humane than US groups.
The American Nazi Party,NAACP,American Communists,muslims and Hamas have joined in many groups and chants of attack the police ,kill the Jews and demands for violence are becoming more common.
Not only are we embarrassed by our government ,now we are shamed by hate groups.
