This is a news article in the Guardian that I just read about unmitigated violence inflicted on G8 Summit peace protesters in Genoa in 2001 by the Italian police. It's really scary, showing both the power of ideology and of institution within bordered, sovereign nation states, and seems to reflect the relative powerlessness of individuals within these states. Are we but pawns to justify states' powers, ideologies and games? A radical thought but curious nonetheless.
