The clashes during the FTAA summit arguably represent the apex of the powerful anti-capitalist movement of the turn of the century.
In this narrative, a participant in the resistance in Québec City recounts the street battles and the ambitions of those who fought in them:

25 years ago, in April 2001, at the high point of the movement against capitalist globalization, anarchists from around North America converged in Québec City to oppose a summit intended to establish a “Free Trade Area of the Americas” (FTAA).
A blow-by-blow account of the resulting confrontations:
what game is this?
Fuck it, they’ll be critiques of both.
I need that Rockefeller money so I can build a commune full of machine guns and that new drug the NYT is talking about that cures PTSD.
I think it’s made out of bark?
they will be critiques of my parents, but I’ll welcome other interpretations.
my mid-forties are comin quick and I’m thinking of making a late career pivot to hard sci-fi stories that could misconstrued as critiques of Marxist Leninism.
Are folk still making anthologies like they used to?
I’m trying to risk rejection this summer.

i’d be more than happy to get his contact information if you want to send it to me. all the information people have shared has sparked a lot of questions.
what was his experience during the civil rights movement?
thank you for that, that’s interesting. is there a video where he talked about that?
this is intentionally obtuse and how DNC chuds support repression of resistance movements.
the protests didn’t work and the kids got heavily repressed. why would they start the same thing up again.
Now, Trump’s budget request reveals, the FBI runs a dedicated “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center”; with personnel from 10 federal agencies, it is busy “proactively” identifying domestic terrorists motivated by any of the following beliefs: “anti-Americanism,” “anti-capitalism,” “anti-Christianity,” “support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government,” “extremism on migration,” extremism on “race,” extremism on “gender,” “Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,” Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on “religion,” and Hostility towards those who hold traditional views on “morality.”
The FBI is “proactively” identifying “domestic terrorists,” including anyone with critical views on “capitalism,” “Americanism,” “Christianity,” “migration,” “race,” “gender,” and “family.”
Essentially, every single Bluesky user.

Remember when DHS agents had no choice but to shoot two Venezuelan men because the men had attacked them with a snow shovel and a broomstick?
New video shows they were lying about that one, too.

I know cartoonists that use the 180 degree rule, and they’re all cowards.
They teach you to make a sort of “s” shape with your panel compositions throughout your comic page.
I’ve done something brave and new by developing “z” shapes.
We first unmasked (or not—Donahue never actually covers his face) two CBP agents in November at great personal risk as two reporters who have been repeatedly targeted by the feds, including with assaults and arrest.
Since then, more and more outlets have felt comfortable naming agents:
And I really doubt they’ll learn anything of this. A whole grip of them will just back a different fascist.
These kinds of people have been shooting themselves in the foot to spite “others” for generations.
