Let's define a few words to start.
Capitalism
Capitalism is an economic system where private enterprise or corporations distribute wealth. The price of goods and services are set by investors and traders who move the supply and demand chain. Capitalism has been the mode of doing business since the time when feudalism or battles between royals went the way of the DoDo bird. While capitalism seems at first to be a good means to an end where entrepreneurs with ideas and start up capital get to enjoy the wealth they create, many people question the merits of such a system when that wealth becomes a means of monopolizing the balance of society. Such is the oligarchal society debate. Is there a group of people who have become the equivalent of the feudal lords and who now live in the private sector and who are members of a global social group that is small in numbers but giant in influence. Are there oligarchal capitalists playing the governments of the world and manipulating the global population by manipulating the supply and demand chain and the source of capitalism ?
Anarchist
The anarchist lives by the political philosophy that considers state authority undesirable and prefers the idea of a state without government. Global anarchists are people who look at the planet as a whole and who see the oligarch rising in the background. The unseen global government is the target of the global anarchist.
___________
Global anti capitalist anarchists are people who see the rise of private citizens of the world and who fear for the global dominance of such a group who could manipulate the wealth of the world and thus the rest of civilization.
Does this describe the Black Bloc has anti capitalist anarchists ?
Black Bloc or Black Block according to infoshop.org is not an organization as much as it is a Tactic of protesting. Different organized groups merge their actions of protest under the veil of black armor. Put more gently these groups don't necessarily all dress in black attire but they act in solidarity to fight under the color of black which is symbolic of anarchism and they protest what they believe is oppression from state or government authoritarian rule. Black bloc protesters usually wear masks to avoid being identified by security cameras.
In June 2010 the Black Bloc tactic is being used by protesters in the City of Toronto in Canada where global financiers and executives of central banks are meeting for a G20 meeting.
Is the Black Bloc dangerous ?
Black Bloc demonstrations do have a flare a drama to them and have in the past been more violent than simple protests where the group is simply trying to get a meeting or handshake from some politician without raising hell to get their point accross.
The National Post used this video in an online article called A Look at the [Black Bloc] Anarchists who could be the Biggest G20 security threat.
See if you agree.
Why is this part of a 2012 prophecy and prediction blog ?
Because if there is great change in the year 2012 it will likely come from the minds of people and not from the wrath of god or nature. Zeitgeist is another big word that revolves on the 2012 theme of change and another group of G20 protestors is called the Zeitgeist Movement.
