Mobs took to the streets, rioting and ransacking businesses. Global trade emissaries were forced to go home without ever meeting. Then in April, it was on to Washington, D.C., to protest the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings. Imagine replacing the current social order with a just, free and ecological society based on mutual aid and voluntary cooperation. Graffiti scrawled all around the capital during the protest urges rejection of corporations, period.
Capitalism is evil and corporations are the devil.
Which takes us back to May Day and the Churchill statue. May Day was the traditional Labor Day in the Soviet Union, when workers who toiled for the motherland got time off to parade through Red Square. Shriners on tiny motorbikes were not allowed, nor were clowns, but they always displayed lots of nice modern Soviet tanks and missiles. In support of their comrades, tens of thousands of anti-capitalist pig protestors would also turn out that day in Central London minus the weaponry, naturally. Generally the London events have been peaceful, merely an affront to the eye and one's basic sensibilities.
