This chapter explores the rise of mass protests targeting international economic organizations, such as the WTO and IMF, and the influence of the horizontalist model on the anti-globalization movement. It delves into the use of mass protest as a strategy for reinventing democracy and creating new forms of horizontal organization, as well as the optimism surrounding the internet and mass protests in the 2010s.
