Undid the edit by 194.125.49.209 for none NPOV content and removal of accurate and relevant information from article. If anybody disagrees, maybe we should discuss the issues here first? NickW 22:31, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

What about public ownership of water supplies? Should this extension of public space (water) be included here? 204.227.243.16 16:20, 18 May 2007 (UTC)pkmilitia

[edit] Change the tense?

RTS seems to have closed. Should we reflect that? By the way, how did RTS link to Reclaim to Future? --88.106.140.234 13:52, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

It was never "open". It's like the meaningless question that people used to ask once RTS got onto the front pages: 'Are you in Reclaim the Streets'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ogy403 (talk • contribs) 20:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

RTS is something of a dis-organization, that is an organization that has no permanent bodies, but rather a conceptual frame, politics and mode of action. That said, if it falls into the past it gets past tense. A quick check of Google News (not the ideal site for this, but therefore more convincing when it shows RTS is current) shows an RTS in Copenhagen and in Santa Cruz, California in September 2006. --Carwil 17:18, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Two minor points

"Participants characterize themselves as a resistance movement to the new corporate colonial forces of globalisation, and, more significantly, as a form of opposition to the car as the dominant mode of transport."

I have changed the latter part of this to "...to the dominance of corporate forces in globalisation". Globalisation as a phenomenon is about far, far more than multinationals. Also, "colonial" is a pejorative term without much objective content.

Also, I was at the Seven Sisters event and remember the riot police clearing the streets by a baton charge. Should be added. Does anyone know of a verifiable source? The Angel of Islington 23:04, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] German Event Called "Reclaim The Sparkasse"

Maybe this should be mentioned?

Try google and http://www.myspace.com/reclaimthesparkasse to find out more. I think it's very relevant for this page.
