The Anti-Everything-Coalition currently wrecking London’s City district is a coalition of many groups. So it’s no surprise that their message(s) are a bit mixed up.

Overall I find a lack of alternative concepts appalling and disappointing. Some want less globalization. Some want more fair trade. Some want no capitalism. Some want justice.

Well we can’t turn the clocks back. More justice is always a good thing, but first we have to agree on what "just" means. And the good thing about globalization is that you can live in almost any country you like (like North Korea). The other good thing in democratic countries is, that you can start a lobby group or join a political party to create "change" my dear protestors.

Once you join real political work you’ll find out that most people don’t want change at all – just perfect security and a nanny state that keeps them "happy".

Protests and the will for political change "infects" most people when the situation is already bad. We need better ways of hitting the streets when it’s too late – we need more active and engaged citizens who watch politicians, companies and other (lazy) citizens as well.
