The guy who initiated Perestroika in the Soviet Union commented on Occupy Wall Street:

"Russia - Former Premier Mikhail Gorbachev compared it to the perestroika period and the collapse of a superpower, calling the protests justified. He said Americans should put their own house in order before attempting to do such with other countries."

TINA (there is no alternative) Principle.  People who prefer (benefit from) capitalism use TINA to justify the continuation of the status quo.

We see that Capitalism has run its course.  It sucks.  It's a cancer. However, we are stuck with it until someone comes up with a workable alternative.  And that will be a while as the benficiaries of the status quo (the 1%) use their dominant power to destroy any attempt at creating an alternative(bombing, regime change, economic embargo, propaganda war, etc.)

I hope the OWS folks understand this, but I am afraid they will soon be forgotten just like the G20/anti-Globalization and anti-Iraq war protests are forgotten.
