Around the world, new insurrectional movements grows as a result of the reorganization of the global capital. Here the insurrection in Argentina against the structural reforms of the IMF is analyzed. An example from France shows how workers react on factory shutdowns with increasingly radical methods, something that is compared to the situation in Swedish industrial towns. After this comes a critical review of two well known books that discuss the globalization of capital and the resistance of the new movement—“No Logo” by Naomi Klein and “Empire” by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. In addition to this, Steve Wright criticizes how Negri’s theories have developed in the light of Italian class struggle in the 70’s.
