High Hopes at World Social Forum

The forum, attended by 100,000 people, is more of a party than a protest, focusing on discussing crises, sharing ideas, and proposing solutions different from those of governments. There is hope that President Obama will listen, though skepticism remains about the US changing its imperialist and capitalist ways. Participants believe US-style capitalism is failing and advocate for ecological models. Despite uncertainties, there is optimism for change.
