I watched the WTO battle in Seattle from my office window. The vast majority of trouble makers were anarchists from Oregon, communists from Berkely, assorted wacko leftists from Seattle, etc.

I can attest that the vast majority were American English speakers, both serious and violent. The AFL-CIO and the AFSCME were a huge presence.

It seemed a general rant against capitalism and free trade.

Definitely. The "cultural hegemony" thing is just so much B.S.
