In the opening of his book Liberal Fascism Jonah Goldberg quotes this wisdom from the late George Carlin:

When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts.

Andrew Klavan has an excellent essay reviewing the movie and the OWS gang’s philosophical connection to its fascist outlook. Read the whole thing.
