Where are the discussions on statism, capitalism and the ideologies behind the movement that include anarchism, marxism and ecologism? The discussions points and speakers so far don't give the impression of there being very much room for discussion as the topics are too narrowly defined.

narrow?

I’m not clear on what exactly is narrow about discussions ranging from war and imperialism to asylum, immigration and corporate globalism. But I would suggest that no one coalition, group or individual, let alone conference, can possibly address all the vital issues that need discussing and action in a day, let alone cover all the theories. Just a thought.
