Hundreds of thousands of people staged a peaceful demonstration against global capitalism in Barcelona

Curious...we know what they are against...but what are they for? This fact slips convienently out off the radar screen every time these wingnuts come out of the woodwork...

They seek to tear down the mechanisms of wealth, and offer no solutions or replacments.

while there are a variety of people protesting ... for different reasons, as the article shows, most do have quite clear programmes. one example would be the barcelonian anarchists.. who its quite easy to assume aim to recreate the society that was smashed by the stalinists and francoists.

From the looks of it, it's mostly communists, socialists and anarchists that travel Europe to protest at these summits. Some fractions of these groups, people with not as firm ideological as rebellious base go to the summits to trash shops, banks, restaurants, cars and throw stones at police officers. What these fractions really want is however unclear.
