Twenty-two years ago today, anarchists and other protesters successfully blockaded and shut down the summit of the World Trade Organization in #Seattle. This was the dramatic debut of what journalists dubbed the “ anti-globalization movement”—in fact, a global movement against neoliberal #capitalism. Over the past few years, we have observed the twenty-year anniversaries of several of the high points of this movement. Today, we reflect on its origins and what it can teach contemporary movements.
When we think of the so-called #anti-globalization movement, we think of massive summit protests. In addition to the historic mobilization against the #WTO in Seattle, we recall the black bloc marching against the Free Trade Area of the Americas ministerial in #Quebec City in April 2001, or the riots at the G8 summit in #Genoa the following July.
