It is because of the petit bourgeois filter that the New Left views the world, despite claims otherwise, that Occupy Vancouver is unable to solve the homeless problem.
They did not buy thirteen hotels as homeless shelters, not unless they are on the Lookout Shelter Society committee.
Most of the Occupy Vancouver would routinely ignore the beggars in Gastown and avoid the Downtown Eastside.
It does not matter how left your rhetoric is, when your bourgeoisie roots blind you to the class struggle that led the homeless to their dire situation.
It must be nice to have socialists for parents who are merely servants for the elites that run Canada and Vancouver.
For the New Left does not represent the homeless. Indeed, most homeless see the Occupy Vancouver crowd as cold people who routinely ignore them.
It is great to rage against the State, but the dismantling of the State does not lead to your New Left utopia where you can smoke all the weed you want because rallies at the annual May Day parade.
Occupy Vancouver did not solve the homeless problem, for they have no solution. It was not them who paid $144,000 in the renovation consortium; it was taxpayers. Even though Occupy Vancouver members also pay taxes, Occupy Vancouver actually makes everyone else look good.
For the working poor only came to either share a toke and eat at the Food not Bombs tent. Not one homeless person was present two years ago.
That's because the New Left actually have nothing in common with them.
Indeed, if a New Left radical was also homeless, and got into a shelter, then he'd be kicked out for trying to politically radicalize the residents. For political rhetoric only annoys the homeless.
Fuck politics. Hug the homeless today!

Violence at Occupy Location == State Terrorism in Action
Remember the shooting at Berkeley in 69 or thereabouts that led to the Kent shooting?
All the shit happening today with Occupy can be attributed to the Establishment pretending student activism == Commies stockpiling guns, which is what Reagan gave as reason to arm police and bring in the National Guard.
It is this prevailing mentality that has lead to violence at Occupy locations around the world.
This violence is not the work of the activists; it is solely the work of the State.

Speculation on Occupy Rome, Occupy Oakland and other musings
Oakland has been where the militant hippies resided after clashes at Haight Ashbury in LA during the 60s.
It's hard to say why Oakland turned out like they do today is primarily due to the influx of Yippies and other political groups, or the associated migration of rural people of all colours there from other places.
As well, because of ages-old clashes of color e.g. Crips and other black gangs, the police there became militant in response to high crime mainly due to poverty and fiscal mismanagement of predominantly white police departments in the city and suburbs.
In short, poverty is the leading cause of militancy amongst certain social activists in Oakland.
This may explain the violence in Occupy Rome since poverty is also endemic in various Italian metropolitan areas due to influx of migrant workers and the unfair distribution of wealth under the current coalition of moderate and right-wing parties.
Thus, Oakland may be this way due to the 1% who are predominantly right-wing conservatives supported by a strong Big Business presence.
It also explains San Jose, and nations run by conservatives globally, including Germany.
Germany is of note because it has used spyware to monitor its citizens, primarily in Bavaria, which has a high influx of immigrants.
