The young activists who went to Seattle, Washington, to shut down the World Trade Organization and to Washington D.C., to protest the World Bank and the IMF had been getting hammered in the press. these commandments. The anticorporate protest movement that came to world attention on the streets of Seattle last November is not united by a political party or a national network with a head office, annual elections and subordinate cells and locals. It seems like a perfect description of the protests in Seattle and Washington DC. These mass convergences were activist hubs, made up of hundreds, possibly thousands, of autonomous spokes.
