With the advent of the Forum: the war and the resistance to war

What has been the strength of the World Social Forum at first, it is the overall-prevention-and-permanent war of George W. Bush. There was a willingness to act to oppose the new imperialist war that threatened the planet. Today, everything has changed. The Arab world is an indicator of global trends: the security crisis created by the powerful states, popular revolutions across the region, bloody counter-revolutions, emergence of a barbaric alternative in the figure of Daesh. Thus, a space for discussion and exchange of experiences remains more necessary than ever. The question that we should answer is: May the FSM framework be attractive to these new expressions of social revolts throughout the world?
