Don't mourn, organize. Organize with whoever you can locally, and let's try
to not let a small bunch of rich sociopaths rule the world.

When organizing, try not to reproduce the same undemocratic structures that
mucked up the world so. Corporations, and institutions similarly structured
are tyranies. Stalin would have been very comfy as a CEO.

Actually, there will be a global protest on  the dates of the G8 conference,
currently about one hundred cities worldwide.
Called Reclaim the Streets, you can read about it here:

This protest is quite large. There will be one (several?) in Australia. RTC
has been happening for several years now. I saw a video of one event in
England.  Very charming. Of course, I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket.

cheers,
