The publication of the police reports on the worldwide June 18
anti-capitalism demonstrations is merely a public relations excercise. As
inequality and ecological devestation increase resistance will grow;
inevitably the police will be asking for more money and powers. The
'violence' on the day was not organised, but a spontaneous eruption of
disatisfaction and anger at the ravages of capital - the demands of profit
come before the needs of life.
Day of reckoning for City force
What's happening where? This is what was planned in 43 countries around the world.
