Destructive logic of the “speculative capitalism” has considerably affected the essence of the democratic system in general. Under such an order the democracy was replaced by imitation and PR processes which serve the interests of commercial companies and not the society. The Occupy Wall-Street movement, which is gathering momentum, reflects the objective reality and thus it has turned into a social and political factor. It is obvious that such a movement cannot fall out of the view of political and administrative structures, special services and big business, which will try (separately and together) to take it under their control, direct it to serving their own interests, or at least to minimize all the possible risks. Maybe, in consequence of coactions the recipes of transformation and recovery of the global economic system will be found.

Concept of “discourse of power” in the broader sense of the term has not been defined so far. In the political science and political linguistics, its definitions were by default replaced with descriptions of characteristics of publicity of authorities in various political regimes and degrees of manipulative capacities of language used by this or that power. Meanwhile, it is obvious that the solution of the problem may be of rather serious scientific interest in several respects at the same time - a) generally, in terms of studying the nature of the institute of power; b) particularly in terms of finding out and scrupulously studying some features of the institute of power peculiar to any power regardless of its character, the moment of history it existed, personality of its holders and etc; c) while defining the epi-phenomenon of “discourse of power” and thus setting an extensional which would unite “regime” discourses of power together with the concepts constituting them or hypothetically used in them.
