The WOMBLES have now published their “Reflections & analysis: the WOMBLES, the ESF & beyond” on their website and on Indymedia UK.

I have still not finished my write-up of the ESF, will post it here when ready and summarised.
Personally, i find the declaration disappointing. It does not answer the questions I have now, concerning the ESF and to the anti-capitalist and “anti-authoritarian” groups in London.
Most declarations just seem to state the obvious, but hardly anything new, relevant or “revolutionary” compared to the mainstream or even compared to the dominating thoughts and philosophies within the social movements.
Anyway, am still disillusioned and am just wondering if it is, and was, all worth it!
