“On the 17th of September, we want to see 20,000 people to flood into lower Manhattan, set up beds, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street for a few months,” one statement says. “Like our brothers and sisters in Egypt, Greece, Spain, and Iceland, we plan to use the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic of mass occupation to restore democracy in America.

Its international standing has risen. Besides being an applicant-in-waiting for what would become the BRIIC group of leading emerging markets, it is a member of the G20 group of countries that is taking on more responsibility for running the world.
