“Organizers opened the meeting with a call for demonstrations, worker strikes and other acts of defiance. They rejected the idea that workers should have to shoulder any of the debt or losses amassed by governments, banks and other capitalist enterprises. One thing they all agreed on: an emphatic rejection of the use of violence. Anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 people were expected to attend the gathering, which marked the 140th anniversary of the first anarchist worker congress in Saint-Imier in 1872 of members expelled from Karl Marx’s movement and local workers — mostly watchmakers — from French speaking areas of the Swiss Jura mountains.”
