The fight for a different world
Shawki, Ahmed
http://www.isreview.org/issues/19/AhmedShawki.shtmlPublisher: International Socialist Review Year Published: 2001 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX11638 For some, Genoa will become synonymous with violence - and this is certainly the line that many mainstream newspapers adopted. Unfortunately, so have some nongovernmental organizations. But there are two separate questions here. The first has to do with the violence of the state directed against the movement; the other is a question of how the movement deals with a small minority of self-selected individuals who choose to engage in a set of tactics that are detrimental to the movement as a whole. The presence of the black bloc (or of agent provocateurs posing as black bloc members) should not be allowed to hide the real purveyors of violence in Genoa. Subject Headings |
