Today is the anniversary of the historic demonstrations against the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank that took place in Washington, DC on the weekend of April 16, 2000.
In this photograph, anarchists charge the police in Washington, DC with two sections of fencing at the high point of that day's events.
Far-right nationalists like Donald Trump later attempted to appropriate the rhetoric of the reformist elements of the movement against capitalist globalization, but the core of the movement was always dedicated to abolishing all forms of hierarchy.

Globalize resistance, not capitalism!
