THIS IS AUTONOMOUS ACTION:
The Untold Story of the G8 Protests
There has been much talk about "autonomous action" in anti-capitalist circles since the Miami FTAA protests. This action in Research Triangle Park is an example of this new approach to direct action protest tactics. The individuals who shut down Research Triangle Park that morning did not go to Georgia to be brutalized and repressed by massive numbers of police; they picked a target in another area, where such an action could benefit from the element of surprise, and took action without direction from a larger body.
The benefits of such an approach are clear. There was no police preparation, and so it was possible for this group, estimated by one newspaper as only three or four people, to accomplish disruptions one thousand people could not have achieved in the occupied zone around the G8 itself. The action brought local attention to the global issues related to the G8, attention which would have been harder to draw to those issues otherwise now that the media under-reports anti-globalization and anti-capitalist efforts.
