this is true. but only for sectors of the
"movement"... but is it any surprise, given the
counter-revolutionary nature of nationalism, etc. that
it is the stuff that is portrayed in the media, for
the most part? the stuff that is easier to hear
about... 

i would venture to say that the majority of people
participating in the anti-globalization stuff
(certainly the majority of people i have talked to and
interviewed) are more sympathetic to revolutionary
possibilities than to nationalism, etc. they have just
mosly been sold on using voting and such to "expand
the floor of the cage", or whatever... and don't
realize how this is counter to their goals.

i can't help but be kinda for it... but only in as
much as it opens up the possibility of stronger
international links for us (er... us meaing the
working class).
