I dont think many of us really dislike the idea of a
global village. But what we are looking at today is a free float of just
capital, but not of
ideas, nor of
people.
Is it really a
Global Anti-Globalization Movement?
It might be anti-
capitalist, anti-
racist, anti-
sexist, anti-
fascist and anti-
environmental bastards. Of course,
riots are an active
resistance against something.
And capitalists, racists, sexists, fascists and environmental bastards work on a global scale nowadays.
But
Anti-Globalization is a
corporate media word, and the so-called anti-globalization movement, as expressed by street
riots like
The Battle of Seattle or
Genoa,
is really a global
anti-capitalist, pro-
equality, pro-
environment movement. It is not anti-global in itself. It is opposing the current
direction of
globalization.
