Occupy movement & Diego Rivera of the great depression mural connection

I feel the mural and the occupy movement have a connection in many ways. The first way I feel they are connected is because in the bottom piece of the mural there is a vault a teller a guard in front of the vault gate people sitting down looking depressed I feel this looks like the people cannot get their money
forcing them to be with out money and depressed. I feel this has a connection because in the occupy movement people are getting all these bank fees just keep to their accounts with these banks putting these people in a financial strain making it harder to make a leaving just like in the mural as a result depressed people sitting on a bench. The second connection is In next piece up there are people crowded laying down in one area with a guard looking over the people. The connection I feel this has with the occupy movement
is for example how the people have occupied a section right outside the embarcadero bart station with tents food and other thing and just like in the mural there is a guard and people crowded occupying one area. The third and final piece has a connection there are a lot of people crowding the bridges and the street. Same I feel is in the occupy movement because there migrating from one place to another in large groups resulting in a mass quantity of people crowded in areas where people trying to get to work.
This is how I feel that there is a connection with the occupy movement and the mural that Diego Rivera
Had painted in the 1930s thank you for reading my blog.
