Subject: Round-up of WTO features in alternative weeklies


Skimming through the following articles I'm stuck at how much liberal
and progressive activists misunderstand anarchists. I'm amazed at the
ubiquitous lack of solidaity displayed toward the black-clad anarchists.
In fact, several writers suggest that the cops should have been
arresting the anarchists and not tear-gassing them. This thinking is
muddled and defies logic. Also, there is no recognition in many of these
articles that several thousand anarchists participated (4-6000) that
day; not all of them look like "black-clad anarchists." There were many
anarchists among the folks who blockaded the streets and took gas and
bullets. If "progressive" activists are going to use the same language
as journalists from the boss media, how are we ever going to unify to
solve the world's problems?
