Good question. Seems to be simply another anti-capitalism group. They appear to be unable to boil their purpose down to anything easy to put into a couple cohesive sentences, or propose any viable alternatives to the things they apparently dislike.
They've been meeting in South America for a few years, probably because of all the big-name economic thinking and stellar examples of progress that come from south-of-the-border.
What made me look at the story was a striking picture of these "indigenous" people, faces painted, and I knew immediately what emotional slaves (liberals) would think:
Indigenous, face-painters good
White invaders bad.
Never mind that the Spanish really don't fall into the "whitey" category, but few liberals trouble themselves with details like that. "European" should be vague enough for such generalizations, and should be used in the future.
At any rate, while attractive in their paint and all, is the picture, labeled as shown below, seems to suggest wisdom in an ancient lifestyle.
- Facing forward Indigenous people march against capitalism in The Week in Photos on Yahoo! News.
Perhaps the economy could run on hugs, soybeans, and goodwill.
I admire indigenous people as much as the next capitalist, but I'll be darned if I'd like to live like my Dutch or Viking ancestors.

like a lot of crackers you talk huge shit (read: pathetic nativism) about indigenous and folks of color. all your flippant dismissals of evolutionary technology produced and refined through countless generations of progress from us "south of the border" folks is self-evident of your sad ass blog passing itself off as coherent, of significance, or remotely consequential. and btw, we arent south of fucking nowhere. dont get your shit twisted. we arent south - you just lost. here's a fucking pointer for your cracker ass: Apocalypto was NOT a fucking documentary (idiot). how convenient for you to talk so much shit about the indigenous americans while you stand, live, eat, sleep, fuck, and blog on stolen land. if you think we so goddamn backwards and helplessly forsaken by technology then i'd be more than happy to contact immigration and naturalization services and have your precious white erik the red ass deported back to home-sweet-home (aka the dark ages, the bubonic plague, the inquisition, the pestilence, the asatru barbarism, etc), besides i think there's a small town in denmark somewhere that needs gentrifying.
and oh yea,
go suck my socialism, bitch.
Wow.
Yet another well thought out, knee-jerk reaction from an over- emotional, under-educated (guessing by the exorbitant dropping of the F-bomb) liberal response.
Not to mention your excessive use of the word "cracker" tags you as someone stricken with "White guilt" trying to validate their tirade under the guise of a "person of color".
If it was not so funny, it would be sad.
Have a cookie!
Someone isn't taking their angry pills are they? Apocalypto wasn't a documentary. Are you sure?
Hey, in the summertime I can get a sort of graham cracker brown, but I've never thought skin color mattered. There's honestly too much hate in this "Anonymous" post to respond to, and not enough coherency to really point to any philosophical flaws. I can't follow the double negatives, either.
What I will say is that there's plenty of evidence that there were tribes here before Native Americans, and there were tribes before those tribes. If you go back far enough, you can hate everyone.
