Amidst all the political hype, the group cemented relations with the entire extra-parliamentary left resulting in a demonstration 2000 people strong. The initiating group has continued their organising during the past year. And today it was time to repeat the success. Under a sunny sky, and amidst busy Saturday afternoon consumers, circa 1500 anarchists, libertarian socialists, environmental activists, immigrants and diverse leftist groups gathered in central Stockholm. They marched together behind the common demand that the "Dictatorship of the Marketplace" be demolished, through revolutionary action if necessary, so that the rising needs and desires of the ever-disenfranchised working class be fulfilled. Extra-parliamentary political speakers, poets, theatre groups and musical ensembles entertained the gathering before they began marching towards the Stockholm Bourse House. Along the way Saturday shoppers were meet with high spirits, reverberating slogans and colourful banners (ok, they were mostly black and red!). As the demonstration passed the Royal Palace, a large portion of the anarchist block broke away from the demonstration to "storm" the bulwarks of this overbearing building which is a symbol of class oppression - all to the roaring cheers of the rest of the demonstration and the dismay of the palace guards and ever-present police forces. Upon reaching the Bourse House, two activists scaled the walls and hung up a banner decorated with the well-known anarcho-symbol "SaboCat" and the slogan "Environmental Struggle - Class Struggle". More speeches and music rounded-off the event. As is usual on these occasions, preparedness for fascist provocation was high and only a few of these scum dared to show themselves. They were quickly and neatly dispatched. The overall picture of the event can be said to be an astounding success as, despite a lower number of participants, the political hype in society (such as was coupled to the elections last year) has been minimal and the demonstration has only been noted in the leftist press.
