Infoshop News - Anti-Capitalist Movement This is a translation of a Tactical paper adopted at the 6th National Congress of the FdCA which outlines an analysis of the globalisation movement, its strengths and weaknesses and how anarchist communists should interact with it. Italy: An anarchist communist strategy for the globalisation movements Anarchist Action San Francisco is building a mass movement of militant action against capitalism. www.infoshop.org /inews/index.php?topic=33

Global Policy Forum - Globalization Danaher, one of the founders of Global Exchange and a rapid-fire, deep baritone voice of American anti-globalisation, says: "The movement is shifting into educational mode. More importantly for the protest movement, the boards of charitable foundations which have been some of the big givers to critics of international financial institutions, for example, are now wary of being aligned with the critics of capitalism. Global economic activism was not hatched on the barricades in the Pacific Northwest, but first mobilised from the pews of England's churches. www.globalpolicy.org /globaliz/define/2910.htm

FT.com - Special Reports / Counter-capitalism A month ago the anti-globalisation movement was preparing its biggest protest ever. The airport lounge on the return from Genoa was full of the movement's hard core. It is also one of a handful of radical activist groups which this year have enjoyed a big lift thanks to Unilever, the consumer goods multinational. specials.ft.com /countercap

The anti-capitalist movement and the war But Islamist movements are not directed primarily against workers' organisations; they do not offer themselves to capital as a way of solving its problems; they are often involved in direct, armed confrontation with the state and have often taken up anti-imperialist slogans and actions. After Buzz Hargrove's statements helped deflate the movement, a severe polarisation developed between those arguing for mass protests to continue and to be combined with anti-war work and those who emphasised 'stay local' initiatives and who refused to even mobilise for the G8 meeting in Alberta in the summer of 2002. For activists in the anti-capitalist movement, with its focus on corporate power and the institutions which enforce it, Islam was not an issue which activists would necessarily have confronted. pubs.socialistreviewindex.org.uk /isj98/ashman.htm

The Anti-War Movement Continues Even more than the earlier anti-globalisation initiatives, post-September 11 developments have finally forced the issues of imperialism and racism to the top of the agenda for the mainstream left, and considerably strengthened it as a result. And of course, even as Blair, Home Secretary David Blunkett and their captive media continue to project explicitly racist views of ‘Muslim’ youth as alienated from ‘democratic’ political processes and potentially violent, large numbers of young people from Muslim backgrounds – mainly of South Asian origin – are participating in the anti-war movement. However, more significant in the long term than Blair’s political future is the revitalisation of the left which the anti-war movement has brought about. www.cpiml.org /liberation/year_2003/May/AntiWar.htm   (368 words)

International Socialist Resistance ( By making an outrageous 'link' between terrorism and the anti-capitalist movement, sections of the press and media, and some capitalist politicians, have tried to claim that one of the consequences of September 11 and the US-led war has been to "halt in its tracks" the mass movement against globalisation. But we are opposed to the anti-globalisation movement going down the road of calling only for reforms of the profit system. Alongside attempted repression, the Western governments and the establishment are attempting to appeal to some parts of the anti-capitalist and anti-globalisation movement to join them in "normal" politics. www.geocities.com /finghin2000/syucd/articles/isr.html   (368 words)

Results and Resolutions of the Anti-imperialist Camp 2001 [WWW.STOPNATO. The Camp contributed to step forward organizing the people's resistance and the international revolutionary struggle against globalisation, to unite the struggles of the oppressed peoples and the new protest movement against globalisation in the west, and to reconstruct an anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, and socialist perspective, as only alternative to globalised capitalism. Even though their political background and their experiences with imperialist globalisation were quite different, all participants agreed on the necessity to continue the struggle, to build an international anti-imperialist front and to build people's power, socialism. There was a broad consent regarding the continuation and strenghtening of the anti-imperialist unity and regarding the international common actions during the year concerning topics that are considered most important by the anti-imperialist movement. www.mail-archive.com /antinato@topica.com/msg00324.html   (368 words)

Takis Fotopoulos - Globalisation, the reformist Left and the Anti-Globalisation 'Movement' Globalisation, the reformist Left and the Anti-Globalisation ‘Movement’ I will call ‘reformist Left’ all those intellectuals, movements and political parties in the Left which adopt a ‘non-systemic’ approach to globalisation according to which globalisation is due to exogenous changes in economic policy and, as such, is reversible even within the system of the market economy. The explicit--or sometimes implicit-- assumption shared by the reformist Left is that a return to some kind of statism is still possible, since the present globalisation of markets is simply seen as the product of neoliberal policies, (if not merely an ideology to justify neoliberalism), and not the outcome of a fundamental structural change. www.democracynature.org /dn/vol7/takis_globalisation.htm   (368 words)

anarchism today - Anarchopedia Globally, anarchism has also grown in popularity and influence as part of the anti-war, anti-capitalist, and anti-globalisation movements. Today, traditional anarchist organizations continue to exist across the globe and, in recent years, anarchism as a political philosophy has gained a higher profile as a result of the rise in protest against globalisation. European anarchism has developed out of the labour movement, and both have incorporated animal rights activism. eng.anarchopedia.org /anarchism_today   (368 words)

Challenges facing Paris ESF Inside the anti-capitalist movement, the neo-reformists of Attac Bernard Cassen and Susan George, plus figures like George Monbiot in Britain, are now trying to impose on the movement their agenda for "another world", for a capitalism with a human face. Initially, it was a movement of "many yeses but one no" - capitalist globalisation. It was clear that this political "neutrality" about which goals the movement should adopt was a weakness, but the reformists in the movement supported such neutrality - certainly for the time being, since it gave them protection against more militant and revolutionary ideas. www.fifthinternational.org /LFIfiles/ESFParis3.html   (368 words)

IATP WaterObservatory The Solidarity Youth Movement’s “anti-imperialist and anti-globalisation war” has the support of other organisation heads too, like the Swatantra Matsyathozhilali Federation leader T. Peter and Congress district committee treasurer M.A. Latheef. The Solidarity Youth Movement, a pro-Jamaat-e-Islami organisation, is running the anti-cola campaign elsewhere in the state. This is not the first time that Kerala has been the focus of anti-cola agitations. www.waterobservatory.org /headlines.cfm?refID=76684   (424 words)

Constitutional Capitalists of America Information Page 20 What matters is “the movement”, which he states is given various names—the anti-globalisation movement, the alternative globalisation movement, the alternative world movement, and so on. Fundamentally for his own political purposes, it means that he can equate all the protests and social movements that have developed since 1999 with the very political tendencies whose function is to prevent them developing in a consciously anti-capitalist and socialist direction. According to him, you can have a movement that is anti-capitalist—insofar as it believes that capitalism is the best way of organising the world and its resources and sets as its primary goal the defence of the nation state! www.constitutional-capitalists.org /InfoPages/Info-page-20.htm   (424 words)

European Anti-Capitalist Left meets Without abandoning its own aims and organisational forms, the movement against globalisation represents an important lever in support of the international anti-war movement, as imperialism, headed by the American government, tries to impose a state of emergency worldwide. One of the objectives of this global state of war is to stifle the movement against capitalist globalisation, to destroy its offensive spirit and prevent its impact on the broader labour and social movements. In the track of a recession that seems exceptionally severe, the capitalist classes have reinforced their antisocial offensive since September, with massive lay-offs, attacks against the welfare system, new privatisations of the public services, more flexibility and stress on the work floor. www.dsp.org.au /links/back/issue21/Euroleft.htm   (424 words)

What is the movement? June 1999 The movement may also include those on the streets of Seattle in November 1999, though this demonstration was 'against globalisation' not 'against capitalism', and those who took part in various Reclaim the Streets actions in the UK, as well as those who attended either of the two encuentros. Presumably the anti-capitalist movement includes those who danced in the streets at the J18 Carnival against Capitalism in London in 1999, those who attended the May Day anti-capitalist conferences in Bradford in 1998 and London in 2000, and those who took to the streets of Genoa in 2001. Most notably, we have been influenced by the anti-roads movement, the free-festival/free-party movement and the campaign against the government's Criminal Justice Bill (CJB), which infamously defined techno as music 'characterised by a series of repetitive beats'. www.nadir.org /nadir/initiativ/agp/new/en/movement.htm   (3366 words)

Voice of the Turtle - Comrade of the Printer The emergence of Anti-War movements in most European countries is, according to Harman, "the result of the major figures in the movement having identified this war as being the military face of Globalisation". Whatever the truth may be, it is at least surprising to find that the vice-president of ATTAC is able to disregard the mobilising momentum for an anti-war movement, an idea supported by Chris Harman in his own article. In England, according to Philippe Marlière, political scientist at University College London, the existence of a pacifist tradition and notably the foothold of CND in pubic opinion has influenced all streams of thought on the Left and has enabled the SWP to graft the anti-war movement and anticapitalist movements together. www.voiceoftheturtle.org /printer/articles/naima_attac.shtml   (1244 words)

GLOBALISE RESISTANCE -Ireland - Join the Rebel Alliance! The real test now is, can the movement understand that to be an effective anti-capitalist movement it also has to be an anti-imperialist movement. We now need to view globalisation not purely as a phenomenon of the market and not either as the great return of the imperialist multinational states, but we have to view it as a new method of capitalist exploitation which is global. That just highlights what I think is still an endemic feature of contemporary capitalism-the conflicts internal to the capitalist class and the way in which the different segments of the capitalist class continue to rely on the power of their own nation state. www.freewebs.com /globalise/anticapitalisttexts.htm   (1244 words)

The politics of opportunism: the "radical left" in France Part two: The LCR assembles the "anti-capitalist left" The first is the anti- or alternative-globalisation movement, which the congress resolution alleges is the most important part of the “anti-capitalist left.” The spokesmen of this movement do not oppose capitalist social relations as such. Considerably more votes were cast at the LCR congress for another resolution, entitled “Assembling the Anti-Capitalist Left.” (1) It was supported by 82 percent of the delegates. One paragraph states: “Together, we refuse to allow our struggle and hope for a new coalition government to be wasted on an alliance with the social-liberal left or on a perspective that is dictated by the capitalist economy and institutions. www.wsws.org /articles/2004/may2004/lft-m17.shtml   (384 words)

European Anti-Capitalist Left meets again Defensive social battles, which have never ceased, are losing their "rearguard" aspect, because the movement against capitalist globalisation has provided them with a new political framework, an offensive spirit, a perspective and an alternative. We, anti-capitalist parties and movements of Europe, are fighting against the EU, its institutions and policies, not in order to defend our national capitalist states, but in the name of a different Europe - social, democratic, peaceful and founded on solidarity. But for the first time in twenty years, the ruling classes' political offensive is running up against a significant new social movement, borne by a new generation of youth, which is global, offensive, internationalist and against the system from the start. www.4edu.info /Global_Justice_2002/ESN_03.5_European_AntiCapitalist_Left.htm   (384 words)

The 21st Century is the Century of Socialism-- Speech at the international meeting of communist and workers parties of May 21 to 23, 1999 in Athens on The Crisis of Capitalism, "Globalisation" and the Response of the Labour Movement. The globalisation of the world capitalist economy, the world capitalist crisis and the military adventures led by US imperialism have sharpened the class struggle from which new levels of Communist and working class unity are being forged. The Joint Statements issued by the Balkan Communist Parties, the Communist Parties of the NATO countries, the Communist Parties of the Arab countries, the Communist and Left Parties of Europe, and all other statements of Communist Parties have been important factors in building the anti-war sentiment. www.agitprop.org.au /stopnato/1999110503.htm   (1934 words)

Indymedia UK - Pilger - The New Protest Movement Today, under countless banners, from the anti-globalisation movement to the Stop the War campaign, the new movement, drawing millions all over the world, may well be the greatest.

In Defence of Marxism - Globalisation The movement against globalisation and the world institutions of capital, which was sparked off by the December 1999 demonstrations against the WTO summit in Seattle, has put its mark the world political arena. This allows the argument against globalisation to be depoliticised, reducing it to single issues of "ethical trading" and "codes of conduct", and inviting its co-option. Globalisation was supposed to bring progress and prosperity to the Third World. www.marxist.com /globalisation.asp   (3821 words)
