"The four-day campaign will feature a diversity of dissent, including anti-globalization activists protesting the spring meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund,

You should agree with them on that.

"college students condemning the war in Afghanistan,"

Call them vile, ugly names for that.

"Palestinian rights demonstrators rallying against U.S. aid to Israel,

Make fun of them for that.

"and others calling for an end to injustice in Colombia."

Sounds good to me.

[Also, anarchists aren't leftists; they're extreme rightists.]

Hence the / between the Anarchists and Leftists. The groups we are facing are "strange bedfellows" - a marriage of convience.

You can count me out on their Columbia stand--the FARC is bad news.

I'm no fan of the IMF/World bank and the WTO, but I'm not standing with commies/leftists and anarchists. I have different reasons for not liking those organizations and don't need to hold their hands to show my disdain.

i prefer libertarian socialists -- self-management, including in terms of economics [workers running workplaces democratically etc..] is what they believe in.

While these "anarchists" may claim to be against state socialism, look at the programs that they support.

What, are you a journalist? To them, there are only two political types: "moderates" and "rightwingers"--in their lexicon there is no such thing as a "leftist."
