Methods of Nazis is to create violence and apparent anarchism so as they can come and "save" the world. This has been used by the socialist president in France and a french writer has been threath by him to death and was found dead to have discovered that this guy has arrangement with the extreme right wing and that in fact his past was from extreme right wing. Now this is someone suggesting the same kind of strategy at the last social forum:

Dear friends
Now, I was in Genoa, I've seen it. Don't believe the news you've seen
in the press and on TV It was something insane, a massacre.
It is still difficult to tell you what happened between friday and
saturday. To do so, I'll use what I've seen together with my dear friends
who were present in Genoa with me.
I ask you to have the patience to read this message, it really is the
chronicle of a nightmare which probably will not reach the mainstream
media.
I arrive to Genoa on thursday, after an immigrant's rights
demonstration of about 50,000 people. There are arrival camps, many, thousands of
peaceful people, a marvellous atmosphere (remember the boy scouts?), we
discussed, sang and just stayed together.
Clergy, activists, volunteers and just normal people, on friday we
begin the issue areas in a blockaed city: The various groups partecipating
will converge in different points of the city to have a carnivalesque
"siege" against the "red area" [The place, in Genoa, where the G8 was
held and demonstrations were not permitted] with street theatre, dancing
and slogans.
At this point, from the beach-front members of the now infamous "Black
Block" [supposedly extremist groups blamed for most of the destruction
in the city] arrive. Some are seen chatting with police, others just
come out of police crowds. Most of them speak German.
They start to break everything. Police and Carabinieri [the Italian
military police] just stand there. The black block tries to join in with a
group of COBAS workers [COBAS is the new Italian Trade union
unaffiliated with party politics]. They beat up one of their leaders, the group
manages to stay clear of them with some difficoulty.
Then the Black Block makes head for the first issue area, belonging to
the Italian Social Centers (Centri Sociali. Difficult to translate
exactly, call them Community organizations). They arrive armed to the
teeth. The police goes after them, and demonstrators find themselves
attacked first by the black block and then by the police, which starts to
charge violently against all demonstrators.
The black block leaves suddenly and appears on the square were the
Lilliput network is based (Fair trade, catholic campaign groups ecc). Its
members try to peacefully make them leave. The police follows and
charges against everyone on the square. Truncheons and tear gas are used
indiscriminately.
People raise their hands, shout "Peace". The black block leaves the
square and starts to vandalize the city sistematically.
300-400 of the Black Block roam Genoa, and whoever guides them seems to
know the city very well. Their path crosses every issue area, where the
campaigns of our movement are located.
It's incredible. They move with military discipline, infiltrate
everywhere, some leaders shout orders which are promptly followed by the whole
group. And, shortly afterwards, police and Carabinieri make their
appearance.
