The reason you dont ever see anything like this in Ireland, is because Irish anarchists are too set up by rules. Any type of 'organised' assemblies are seen as something against the backbones af Anarchism. 'No rulers, no masters' ect.
There shouldnt have to be organisers or leaders for assemblies to happen.
I was there at a number of the blockades in Geneva, and I can assure you that they didnt just happen. It wasnt just a coincidence that black block and anarchists met at certain locations.
With the W.E.F. coming up, I think it is crucial that Irish anarchists evolve and start to actually do something about what they stand for.
No organisers, no leaders. Just meetings.
Watch this Space.

Just got back from Geneva. Didn't see anything kike this. The only real confrintation I saw was at one of the bridges when police advanced in large numbers with water canon. I had a great time. Now its time to organise to shut down the W.E.F.
if you're there then maybe you could start a running riot with the gardai?
