The stability of global capitalism has been challenged successively since the turn of the last millennium. It was initiated by the burst of the "dot.com bubble", massive demonstrations against the current globalization regime (the anti-globalization movements, see Graeber 2002) and the shocking images of the World Trade Center in flames. 1 Not long after these events, the entire system of global finance came tumbling down during the "Financial Crisis" that brought the entire machinery to a grinding halt and demanded enormous amounts of "quantitative easing" to resume operations. In the European context, the financial crisis precipitated several further crises, including a range of "debt crisis" (Greece, Italy, Malta, etc.) potential and eventual "Exits" (Greece, UK), and eventually a crisis of the entire European Unionization project, concomitant with the "refugee crisis" mounting as a consequence of the Syrian civil war -and, not to forget; the burgeoning climate crisis.This leads us to one of the larger questions of contemporary social movements. The "traditional stance" on social movements, with point of departure in Marxian class analyses, were challenges with the emergence of "New Social Movements" 1 While symbolic of many things, the Twin Towers were the iconic symbols of world commerce; a pride of the Trading City of New York, thus their destruction may be interpreted as symbolic representation of an attack on the entire global capitalist system, and equally indicative of the system's instability and fragility when faced with shocks (see also Beck's [2006] analyses in this regard).
