1 online resource (185 pages) :, Translated for the first time into English, the history of the German autonomous anticapitalist movement is traced back to the 1970s in this firsthand account. Battling police in riot gear, the early members of the autonomous movement used military tactics that included barricading and hurling Molotov cocktails in protest. Dubbed the \"Black Bloc\" by the German media, those tactics were soon adopted by scores of anticapitalist groups across the globe.
