The article compares the Occupy protest movement of the early 2010s to the anti-Communist dissident movements in Central and Eastern Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. The author seeks to utilize insights from the theory of antipolitics, first developed by Hungarian intellectual and political philosopher György Konrád in 1989, to analyze the history of protest movements. Issues considered include resistance to totalitarian forms of government, the Occupy movement as a movement directed against globalization and capitalism, and the idea of a third way between capitalism and communism
