		This weekend Genoa was a battlefield - barriers and fortifications, armed patrols, 20,000 police troops, 200,000 peaceful demonstrators - four times the number in Seattle - from fifty countries shouting in ten languages "a different world is possible," and 1000 violent Black Bloc, neo-Nazis, Skinheads and their like.
		The fortified camps of the old city of Genoa are symbolic of the now visible historic failure of the G-8 itself.
		Ironic that the unauthorized movement on the streets and piazzas of Genoa was much less isolated than were the eight leaders of the rich countries and their delegations inside the cages of the Red Zone.

		From the outset, the Big Eight summit in Genoa was doomed to become nothing more than a pretext for widespread protests.
		These were not isolated activists, of the kind who have taken part in all the protests since the one in Prague, but an organized group of forty people assembled by the Movement for a Workers Party.
		At the base of their protest there almost always lay the hope that the authorities would come to their senses, or at least take fright, and would themselves change their methods and policies.

		As the fighting raged in the streets of Genoa, U.S. President George W. Bush attacked the protesters by accusing them of "hurting poor countries" and "condemning those who are poor to poverty."

		Protesting against the G8 is a method of highlighting what is inherently wrong with the principle of power - the power of a tiny minority over the entire world - and the results of this gross maldistribution of power: massive worldwide inequalities, reduced social health and a destruction of the environment we depend upon.
