Despite heavy police repression, protesters disrupted the meeting of the World Trade Organisation and forced it to abandon its talks without any agreement being made. Seattle sparked an explosion of protest around the world. It inspired and radicalised millions of people, and marked the beginning of a vibrant and growing anti-capitalist mood. Wherever world leaders and their bankers met this year they were greeted with a hail of protest. APRIL: 40,000 people laid siege to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank meeting in Washington. It was the culmination of a week of protests, teach-ins and rallies. The US magazine Business Week said, "The protesters have tapped in to growing fears that US policies benefit big companies instead of average citizens-of America or any other country." JUNE/JULY: An estimated 100,000 gathered for an anti-capitalist festival in Millau in the south of France. They were defending French farmer Jose Bove, on trial for dismantling a local McDonald's. JULY: 5,000 Japanese people demonstrated against world leaders meeting at the G8 summit. AUGUST: Huge demonstrations outside both the Republican and Democratic conventions in the US. Some 10,000 people protested against the Republicans in Philadelphia, while 50,000 joined the band Rage Against The Machine in a mass protest against the Democrats in Los Angeles. SEPTEMBER: 10,000 protesters, including Aboriginal activists and school students, blockaded the meeting of the World Economic Forum in Melbourne, Australia. SEPTEMBER: 20,000 people from across Europe converged in Prague in the Czech Republic against the IMF and World Bank. A week of protests forced the IMF to close the meeting a day early. Prague inspired solidarity demonstrations from Brazil to India. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Seattle was a fork in the road."

ECONOMIST bosses' magazine after Seattle ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Protests spread east and west ONE OF the myths pushed by the media and governments is that the anti-capitalist demonstrations have only taken place in rich Northern countries. In fact there have been protests East and West, North and South. In October some 20,000 South Koreans protested against government and business leaders in trade talks at the Asia-Europe summit (ASEM) in the South Korean capital, Seoul. Most were workers from the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions. Up to 30,000 security forces, armed with riot shields and batons, and backed up by helicopters and armoured riot vehicles, surrounded the conference centre. But with fists in the air thousands of workers chanted, "We oppose neo-liberalism," and, "No globalisation," and demanded that workers' hours were shortened. "Globalisation is a main cause of worsening labour conditions," protesters said. "ASEM, which was established to overcome American supremacy, has been following in US footsteps only for the sake of capitalistic gains, destroying the lives of labourers and people in Third World countries." In August police killed four people taking part in a demonstration against the World Bank in the city of Hyderabad in India. The anti-capitalist movement is much more than a series of protests. It is connected to a wider struggle against the effects of IMF and World Bank policies around the world. This year-from Bolivia to South Africa, from Ecuador to Zambia-workers, peasants, students and the poor have fought back against privatisation, and welfare and job cuts imposed by the IMF. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- General strike grips Argentina Workers brought Argentina to a halt last week in a 36-hour general strike against an IMF austerity package. The IMF is demanding the Argentine government push through savage spending cuts in the next 30 days in return for emergency loans. 기사 1: What we think Nice chance to take on the privateers WHAT KIND of Europe do we want to live in? The press present arguments about the European Union (EU) as a row between chauvinistic Tories and Europe-loving New Labour. But tens of thousands of trade unionists will demonstrate outside the EU summit in Nice, southern France, next week. They will demand what neither New Labour nor the Tories dare, or care, to demand-a social Europe where ordinary people have rights, not a Europe where the rule of profit is all. They will demonstrate against the tyranny of unemployment, long working hours and the lack of union rights. The EU leaders meeting in Nice next week have their quibbles with each other. But they are united by a central aim. They want to extend the neo-liberal, free market agenda of the IMF, World Bank and WTO across the countries of Europe. They want to dismantle all barriers to the free market that exist within the EU's borders so they can ram through the privatisation of health, education and other services. The EU leaders want to level down workers' rights across Europe, not level them up. And their model is the US, where workers do even longer hours and have even fewer holidays than workers in Europe. That is why the new leader of the German business federation this week demanded more deregulation of the German labour market and much greater flexibility in working hours-repeating demands made by New Labour's Gordon Brown to the EU last year. Tony Blair this week promised a new blitz against the "burdens on business". A new deregulation bill to make life even easier for employers is expected to be announced in the Queen's Speech next Wednesday. In Greece last week there was an example of the bosses' and politicians' vision of the EU. The European Court of Human Rights told the Greek government it was wrong to confiscate the palaces and estates of the former Greek monarch and said he should get compensation. Yet the Greek monarchy was formally abolished after a 1973 referendum, and the ex-monarch has not lived in Greece since 1967! The thousands who will demonstrate in Nice, mobilised by European unions including the British TUC, want a better future for the majority of people in Europe, not just for a rich elite. Their protest is the next step on from Seattle, Millau, Melbourne, Prague and Seoul. Every worker in Britain should back it.
