Can 'occupy' protests break the back of capitalism?

What started about a month ago in the US as a protest against the widening gap between the rich and the poor appears to be quickly assuming a life of its own. The protests began in New York with a demo dubbed 'Occupy Wall Street' that has since been replicated in other cities in America and abroad.

So far the ‘occupy’ anti-capitalism protests are said to have taken place in 80 countries across the world from Britain to Germany and Pakistan.
