You are wrong about occupy being driven by identity polotics. It was destroyed by identity politics. That was the subversion strategy wallstreet used to divide and conquer them. It wasn't until well into the protest that it started to creep in. That is when people started getting on the megaphones and preached social justice and demanded "reparations" and special considerations for their opressed group.
