But what about internationalism or one world government.
The Antifa / Black Bloc rally / rave was chanting "No Nations... No Borders..." That is not anti-globalism. It's a different form of globalism.
These people are anarcho-communists... and globalists. They're very much for one world government, they're very much against the sovereignty of nation-states, they're very much for authoritarian social engineering.
They're against free markets, free exchange, trade, and price as a rationing device.
I get the feeling, for some, its the political version of soccer hooligans. They just want to fight and this looks like a reason.
I agree they are just looking for a fight and then it is up to the media to spin it the way they want to.
In America the protests are all about anti Trump of course.
In other countries they might spin the protests in another way such as climate change etc..
Mostly I think the people like to cause a scene and the media likes to cast doubt on everything Trump. The foreign medias also pile on because they are not happy that Trump turned off the spigot of free money to them.

The people at G20 were anti-globalists. What made you think everyone has the same agenda?
I could see why someone asked this question, because it almost makes more sense if it was nationalist conservatives who were rioting against more centralization of global governmental powers, but it is far more often to be very liberal anti-capitalists who are rioting against G20 and similar events. But to me that is a freaking oxymoron because I associate the far left with more centralized global power, it is almost exclusively someone on the far left that wants the UN to become more powerful and nation states to have to follow international laws and regulations.
These rioters of G20 are probably the same ones who fear right wing nationalist as being the world's number one threat. Which is funny because you would think if you are really against centralized power you could come to some common ground with the right wing nationalists.
My post obviously comes from a conservative perspective that criticizes the rioters but even if I were to play devil's advocate and say they are in the right team, but is the point of rioting? Really, does it do anything? Do politicians at the end of the day say, "Guys they are not happy, we need to listen to them?" or do the police ask, "Are we on the wrong team, should we support the rioters and arrest the politicians?" I cannot comment on the German rioters, but those in the USA that would riot and have rioted against G20 are almost exclusively liberal, probably more Bernie Sanders type of supporters.
Antifa / Black Bloc are generally against the existence of nation-states and borders. They are communists. They are anti-capitalists and anti-free market but they are strongly in favor of one global governance. They have demonstrated this time and time again. They think any immigration policy is racist.
This is what they believe. Why are you trying to deny that? They are very outspoken about it. We know this. I have no idea why these leftist groups are sometimes labeled 'anti-globalists' when the reality of what they're pushing is far different.
They were chanting no nation no border before the techno music drowned them out and before they took to the streets to set cars on fire, break windows, attack police officers, spray paint graffiti (such as no nation no border) and loot. There isn't great video of this particular chanting because a) they spent a lot more time on their destruction than on any sort of messaging (probably because we've heard it all before and everyone is well-acquainted with their aims), and b) it was unsafe for independent journalists such as Tim Pool and Luke Rudkowski to be there on the ground, as they were attacked and targeted.
I mean, you tell me -- is being anti-nation and anti-borders and anti-immigration policy synonymous with being against globalism? How can a person or group think nation-states should be dissolved and NOT be for one global governance at the same time? They want to unite the world under central authoritarian rule where everyone believes the same and dissenters are labeled NAZIs and "smashed."
When you claim anti authority and want the authority to protect you... brilliant.
