The Frankfurt School argues that the Occupy Movement has the potential to bring about revolutionary change, raise awareness of social and economic problems, and build solidarity among marginalized groups.

Some of the key debates surrounding the Frankfurt School's theory of the Occupy Movement include the extent to which the theory is applicable to other social movements, the role of technology in the Occupy Movement, and the relationship between the Occupy Movement and other forms of resistance.

The Frankfurt School argues that the Occupy Movement is a combination of old and new forms of resistance. It draws on traditional forms of protest, such as demonstrations and sit-ins, but it also incorporates new forms of resistance, such as the use of social media and the occupation of public spaces.

The Frankfurt School does not have a unified view of the relationship between the global justice movement and the state. Some members of the school argue that the global justice movement should work with the state to promote global justice, while others argue that the global justice movement should challenge the state and its role in promoting global injustice. Still others argue that the global justice movement should ignore the state and focus on its own goals. The Frankfurt School's view of the relationship between the global justice movement and the state is therefore complex and depends on the specific circumstances.
