Yeah I was wrong and careless when I said "nobody has ever cared" about the WEF.

I read your link and read more about the S11 protest, and I do personally have some memory of the anti-globalism within the radical left in those years (although not in Melbourne obviously) so I agree I was wrong in my earlier comments.

I think you would find many people who would now today identify as right wing "groiper" types within the 2000 Melbourne S11 crowd.

I think probably the year 2000's anti-globalist banner attracted a lot of people opposed to NAFTA precisely because of right-wing racism, McVeigh militia ideas, anti-Clinton-ism rather than mainstream leftist stances.
