"Genoa 2001 is often remembered with pain. It was many things, and certainly also a great collective trauma. But beyond the suffering, we must also learn to cherish the memory of the extraordinary strength of that movement. That strange plural creature of the new millennium, which called itself the “movement of movements.” A movement that was ahead of its time. That pointed to the need for an internationalist alternative to capitalist globalization. That built alliances between different worlds, that united peoples beyond nationalism, that reconciled differences. With all its limitations, of course. But with enormous potential for change. We are still everywhere. Carlo lives!"
