We must all be united in our struggle for Social Democracy everywhere. A great article that explains the problems of global capitalism in terms we can all understand is Prof. William I. Robinson's: Global Capitalism Is In the Midst of its Most Severe Crisis...:
Among other things he states the problem with the Occupy movement:
"In my view the Occupy movement and those like it do not see the need for a clear program, forms of political organization that can sustain a struggle, and for socialism, because if you are anti-capitalist you must be for something that will replace it. As well, how do we overcome the terrible vices and anti-human values that global capitalism inculcates in all of us: individualism, opportunism, selfishness, egos, envy, and so on. How do we create a humane and loving collective culture of the 99 percent?"
Of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez he said, "He placed socialism back on the global agenda at a time when the worldwide left was claiming that there is no alternative to global neo-liberal capitalism. But he also criticized 20th century socialism for its top-down and anti-democratic tendencies. He called for a 21st century socialism from the bottom up. He led a progressive bloc of Latin American social and political forces out of the devastating era of neo-liberal hegemony in Latin America."
Each individual in society is responsible for doing his/her own part. We must make nice with people of all races and beliefs. We must unite to create a system in which each child born in this world is truly endowed with equal human rights.
In this regard we must Fight for Article V Convention to get money out of politics and overturn Citizens United with Wolf-Pac. Your help is needed on this issue.
Another area in which we must unite is helping each other to form worker-coops which will compete against capitalism. More about this here.

Most of all, we should refuse to be sucked into useless, destructive conflicts among us.
