I'd agree with Doug here. My alternative to the World Bank etc is anarchism. Anything short of this is saying that capitlaism on that international level can be made nicer and kinder. I think if we tried to agree an alternative (I mean the movement not this list) we'd simply stop working together after the resultant rows. Arguably this was the real problem with SDS etc, the attempt by farious factions to force _their_ program often in what was little more then a cynical recruitment stunt.

Really this is the worst form of reactionary crap. I was asked about this fictional group of jet setting protesters by German TV in Prague while in was in the midst of several hundred East European youth who earned 200 dollars a month. There are very, very few protesters that have been to more then a copule of the demos.
