Sure, and I agree that of course Miller was more liberal back then, but the supposed liberal ideals expressed in Year One are equally generic. There are conservatives today who accuse the Obama administration of elitism and corruption, that Obama's on vacation and his wife is buying fancy dresses, that his socialistic policies are going to make everyone poor, that he's buying votes through social welfare programs or whatever.

Every political party is against corruption and those in power bleeding the country dry and so on (what party would be for those things?), but they have very different definitions of what that entails. Again, I'll bring up the Tea Party as a counterpart to Occupy. They were superficially both populist movements holding protests against government economic policies, but they were still on opposite ends of the political spectrum.
