Occupy Wall Street Contingent Heading To Massive Anti-Capitalist Forum In Brazil…
Obama’s envoys to the World Social Forum.
BRASILIA (AFP) – Tens of thousands of anti-capitalist militants, including members of Spain’s “Indignant” movement and the US Occupy Wall Street, are due to attend the World Social Forum, which opens Tuesday in Brazil.
The forum is an alliance of social movements opposed to the World Economic Forum, the annual gathering of the world’s economic and political elites being held at the same time in the Swiss resort of Davos.
From Tuesday to Sunday, participants in the World Social Forum will meet in the southern Brazilian city of Porto Alegre to weigh alternative solutions to the global economic crisis.
President Dilma Rousseff is expected to attend the event along with 70,000 other people.
Under the slogan “Capitalist crisis, Social and Environmental Justice,” the forum aims to lay the groundwork for a peoples’ summit of social movements to be held in parallel to the high-level UN conference on sustainable development scheduled for June in Rio.
The World Social Forum has its roots in 1999 street protests in the US city of Seattle during a World Trade Organization meeting but it settled in Porto Alegre as its regular venue 12 years ago when it drew 20,000 activists from around the world.
This year the forum is opening its doors to other voices and protest groups from around the world, including the Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, Spain’s “Indignant” group and students from Chile.

Here’s an idea, attendees from OWS. STAY THERE!
Here’s a question, who’s paying for them to travel around the world and rabble-rouse?
Who’s paying for the porta-potties this time?
Are they hitch hiking or buying plane tickets from the greedy capitalists?
Also Brazil doesn’t have pepper spray or rubber bullets.
@ Sentinel
George Soros.
Can THS keep them out of the country? No, the Kenyan needs their votes.
@Woz – in Brazil they can use the gutter.
OWS…Obvious Wrong Strategy
How much government money are they getting?
I hope those in brazil give these che lovers a rather sticky wicket welcome with rocks,bricks and bottles
Spain’s “Ignorant Movement”?
sounds about right…
Be sure to burn a CHE T-Shirt to realy annoy these world woker red idiots
COMMUNISM SUCKS
@Vixen-
How about that-A leadoff homer
Maybe they will be kidnapped by the King Pins and no one will pay the ransom. Actually the drug lords probably have better sense, they wouldn’t want these slimeballs either.
Sounds like a target rich environment….
If they want communism so badly, why don’t they all go to North Korea, or better yet get together with Castro or Chavez and make their own little commie heaven.
The problem is that they don’t want to live under such conditions unless everybody else is suffering also…
Communism is and always will be an aggressive ideology set on world domination.
US Democrat/ Socialists continue to partner with their Davos counterparts; while leading the Black vote… While the anti-capitalist movement is backward, and contradictory to US Freedom…
To scrap Capital Markets, one will have to scrap the civil rights movement; as slaves were freed in this country, thus liberated to seek free and independent employment…
Would you like to burn her stupid sign in a nice big bon-fire along with a occupyer effegee with that darn V for VENDETTA mask on it ROAST RATS would be nice
I’ve been there. They will be able to crap on the street and nobody will notice.
I wonder who’s paying for this?
I wonder who approved their travel plans, and who will let them back into the USA after attending an “anti-Capitalism” riot?
Actually inequality in so called “Left Wing” Brasil is a lot higher than in the US.
The rulers of countries like Brasil or China may call themselves “Left Wingers” but it is a big lie.

USA 45.0
China 46.0
Brasil 53.9
