i'd say these are pretty good ideas.

I agree with main gist of what you are saying here. I always thought that using the label anti-globalisation risks having us lumped with those who attack neo-liberalism from the right (ie. the Cultural/Social Conservatives, aka Pat Buchanon, UKIP, traditional religion etc.).

also using essentialy negative terms (ie. Anti-Capitalism, Anti-Globalsiation) gives the misleading impression that whilst we know what we against, we don't have alternative positive views. This doen't help us in our efforts to change the viewpoint of the masses.

I recall myself and others advocating the use of the term 'Pro Democracy' on a Mayday dicussion lists this year. However, the powerful point was made then that 'Pro Democracy' is a bit on the bland side. I mean, almost everbody to the left of the Taleban CLAIMS to be Pro-Democracy. including the Anarchists, SWP, Greens, Tories. Even the BNP pay lip service to democracy. Of course, we know that we adocate real democracy whilst others perputate the sham of corporate led passive acquisence (the neo liberals) or are just plain lying in there committment to it (ie. the BNP).

But this does mean the the label itself has the ring of what the Americans would call 'Motherhood and Apple Pie'.

So, what i am left thinking about is a term that is

A) is a positive statement of our common values

B) is broad enough to include all tendancies within the movement (ie. acceptable to Anarchists, Troktykists, Greens, Reformists alike)

C) is precise enough to distinguish the movement from both noe-liberalism and cultural conservatism.

Personally I believe the term "SOCIAL INTERNATIONALISM" fits the bill pretty well.

Its stresses that we are against corporate led globalisation (ie. neo-liberalism), we are a worldwide SOCIAL movement. Yet our INTERNATIONALISM means we are in opposition to the cultural conservative critique of neo-liberalism that is founded in parcholism, nationalism and the defence of traditional heirarchies.

re, the use of the term 'Fair Trade', i couldn't agree more.

We are ONE World,
We are ONE People,
We have ONE Future.

It's been used B4, but I like "Radical Democracy"
