While it was difficult to understand the reason for the protests it seems to be anti-capitalism. Most of the people involved seemed young - teenagers to 30 somethings - I can relate to their discord over the super rich holding a meeting in their town. The GenXers look forward to a life of wage slavery... Donald Trump is an perfect example of one of the 1% that just decided to purchase the USA Presidency for personal amusement.

Politicians, civil servants and protestors convene in Hamburg for the start of the G20, in what’s billed as a showdown between Europe and the US over climate change, migration and free trade. But campaign group Global Justice Now has slammed the agenda as “the same tired and failed policies which produced monsters like Trump in the first place”. They argue for fundamental change to defeat the serious danger which the so-called right-wing populists like Trump represent to the future of the world.
