Journalist, broadcaster and former Wall Street stock broker Max Keiser thinks the various Occupy movements should team up with local Pirate Parties.

He argues that both stand for similar issues, as both are resisting powerful monopolies.

Even more so, abolishing patents might even help to prevent dubious practices such as flash trading.

According to Keiser Occupy needs a political wing and the Pirate Party is an ideal fit in his view.
