It’s written from an anarchist-sympathetic perspective and the “open letters to OWS” that the author examines are speaking to OWS, not to “us” as Dean does. Nonetheless, I think you can make the case that, although they are writing *to* OWS, they are also writing to each other, to “us” who are outside.

Anyway, the author doesn’t have any conclusions, I just thought it was interesting, another collection of “letters to OWS”. http://permanentcrisis.blogspot.com/2011/11/open-letter-to-occupy-movement.html
