Report from the G20 in Buenas Aires

I've noticed through my travels that people share common traits the world over.
Crapitalism has made wage slaves of us all.
We share being exploited to increase the wealth of the haves.
We all get the same 'necessary evil' rationalizations.

The 2018 G20 in Buenos Aires: Complete Report

In English, Spanish, and German

Following up our coverage of resistance to the 2017 G20 summit in Hamburg, we present the conclusion to our coverage of the 2018 G20 summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina and the demonstrations against it.
For two decades, we have studied global political and economic summits as sites for protest and intervention.
For this purpose, it is just as important to study the summits at which the state has succeeded in imposing social peace, however artificial, as the summits at which they have completely lost control of the situation.
A complete analysis of the summit in Buenos Aires would have to begin with the ¡Que se vayan todos! uprising of 2001 and trace the subsequent cooptation of Argentine social movements to account for the difference between the combative revolt that toppled several governments in succession 17 years ago and the comparatively tame response to an extremely repressive global summit in 2018.
This report explores the events of the summit in great detail, however, and concludes with interviews about the mobilization.

We were pleased to work with “Pipette Relais,” a part of the same global networks that reported on the 2017 G20 summit, to publish the following reports.
