September 17th ("S17") marks the one year anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement and a full slate of events are planned. Let's look back at the glorious past year.

The goals of the Occupy movement include challenging the elites and holding Wall Street accountable. And, they succeeded (see the links) due to some incredibly brilliant tactics.

Yes, there are detractors. They point to a seemingly endless string of violent confrontations and fringe ideas that don't even represent 1% of the U.S. populace (note: that might be higher in Canada, where OWS is from). Some even point out that Occupy could have been planned by or nudged by the elites to support policies that help the elites. Some point out that Occupy is a self-discrediting movement that has blocked a popular, mainstream opposition to Wall Street malfeasance.

But - to prove those detractors wrong - I've compiled a list of all the ways that the OWS movement has challenged the elites and all the ways that they've held Wall Street and politicians accountable.

Without further ado, here is that list:
