The Life--or Death--of the Anti-Globalization Movement
The anti-globalization movement that erupted onto the scene in Seattle 1999 frightened elites and inspired activists around the world to fight the system in a utopian, anti-authoritarian way. However, this movement has occupied a much less significant place on the public stage since the terror attacks of September 11th, 2001. Is it over?
=====================
Ah yes, the spring-summer-fall in Seattle '99. I'd wake up every morning and call myself and other organizers flat earth anti-globalizationists in order to beat Tom Friedman to the punch.
Cycles and circuits of struggles..........
Down with instant gratification leftists.
