The New Anarchism and the Global Justice Movement.
Many segments of the movement resisting neoliberal globalization (especially in North America but also in Europe) are animated by ideologies drawn more from the anarchist than the socialist traditions of the left. In this paper, I will compare and contrast critiques of Neoliberal globalization and strategies of resistance based upon anarchist visions with critiques and strategies based on more traditional marxian socialist conceptualizations. I will seek to explore the tensions and possibilities for the transnational reinvigoration of left politics through an "anti-capitalist convergence". Is an anarchist-led counter-hegememonic bloc an oxymoron, or is this an emergent form of radical politics in the 21st century?
