(Putting on the guise of a sports announcer- where the stakes are always lower then the drama on the field).....Next weekend is a big week for team “Globalization Movement.” Suffering a setback after the September 11th imbroglio, this colorful and internally conflicted team is poised to make another comeback.

With two big games; The First- in City of the Yankees (whose bankroll gets a lot of complaints from the rest of the league) at the World Economic Forum. Several different games are being played. Players who make up their own rules and games include (but are not limmited to) the Anti-Capitalist Convergence which seems to be NY-DAN heavy, the INTERNATIONAL A.N.S.W.E.R./ IAC , New York Reclaim the Steets (whose post S11 motto was rumored to be "How fucked are we?!"), the big-tent Another World is Possible (AWIP), the AFL-CIO's Working Families Economic Forum, the New York City Social Forum which is links AWIP with Brasil's World Social Forum.
Also expected to attend are the vast media consumers of the greater North American continent. Of special note then is this note from the ACC webset regarding "who are the provocateurs"- a comment that inately questions the strategy of wearing black.

The second game- the Vision, is the World Social Forum, occurring concurrently on home turf in Brasil's left-leaning state of Porto Alegre, will be a different game all-together. The rules and principles were set up by a home team of sorts. The Players at Porto Alegre pitch around a battery of conferences and workshops that attempt to create something between a Democratic Papal Bull and a snap-shot of the huge ideological, cultural and perspectival diferences within civil society.
Acting directly in critique of the first world hegemonic order, one aspect of feild is to create a panoramic view on how neo-liberalism affects communities from "first" to "third" world with pre-summits gathering up and ensuring that particularly silent voices will be heard . From these third-world perspectives, organizers hope to reveal multiple plans to address the problems and create solutions.

Hyping up for both games, the "Globalization Movement" is cheering “Another World Is Possible.”
