Great success of London ESF

20-10-2004 15:53

SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY happened during the long weekend of 15-17 October. The beautiful, crazy, creative chaos of a great social forum—which I have witnessed in Porto Alegre, Florence, Paris and Mumbai—came to rainy, grey north London.

DAVE GODIN HAS DIED

20-10-2004 14:41

Dave was a contributor to Openly Classist, writing about his experiences with soul musicians and performers from the 1960s onwards. When we set this site up we asked Dave for a quote. This is what he gave us:  http://www.openlyclassist.org.uk

"Class is such a pernicious, undermining factor in British culture because we are constantly being told, (by Prince Edward no less, as well as countless other middle-class people of moderate intelligence!), that it no longer exists. Well, it is still thriving just as virulently as any other form of discrimination, despite the token “working-class celebrity”, like the token black, or whatever, so let’s hear it for the lowest of the low, and the poorest of the poor for a change; the used, the abused and the cheated. There are millions of us. We are all different and unique, and we are somebody! And the working class everywhere has always lived under an Occupation. Welcome to the world of Openly Classist!"

Dave Godin

Dave was a really charming bloke, loved life and living it. In return he was well loved back.

ESF Outcomes: We should go deeper, to find more links between movements

20-10-2004 07:47

Four years after the initial World Social Forum (WSF) in Porto Alegre, a frame has been built to facilitate discussion, debate and exchanges, on how to build a better world. A series of meetings were held in order to explore what we can expect from this experience. The first event, titled “Future and perspectives for the ESF - WSF”, was held on Friday 14th of October 2004 in the Alexandra Palace of the English capital.

Letters Unwelcome anarchy at the European Social Forum

19-10-2004 23:11

We agree with your appreciation of the success of the European Social Forum (Leaders, October 18). However, the storming of the stage of the anti-racist and anti- fascist session on Saturday had nothing to do with how the event was organised. It was the attempt of a tiny minority who oppose the ESF and have had no involvement in it to undemocratically impose their views on the majority and suppress other views by using physical violence.

This is all desparately sad. We can not let it end like this.

19-10-2004 23:09

We are finally building a genuinely new, creative, non-hierarchical social movement, so-far largely without the same sectarian rubbish of previous failed attempts of change. The post- discussion and the hideous way out-dated parties with no relevance to real change have tried to hijak this movement undermining what ESF was supposed to be about is desparately sad.

Photos of Indymedia "block" and ESF demo - London 17 Oct

19-10-2004 22:33

FBI wanted for data theft - Server seizure sucks!
Indymedia had a strong presence at the ESF demonstration to denounce the seizure in London of its servers by the FBI just over a week ago. IMC activists and supporters marched between the samba band and the anticapitalist block, and eventually were joined by a no-border crew carrying their "freedom of movement" banner. Pitty that the day ended with the forces of darkness imposing their usual intolerance once more.
