what's wrong with Globalise Resistance?

AWIP | 26.08.2002 11:54

GR wants to be a non-political anti-capitalist umbrella organisation giving support to other organisations and campaigns and drawing more people into the anti-cap movement, this is a good thing. However.........


However, people are suspicious that this is merely a front for the distinctly socialist leanings of the main people involved. in it. GR react by saying that membership and elections for it's steering committee are totally open, which is true. But those critical of the group's origins are unwilling to get involved at all - catch 22 - until those critical of GR are prepared to get involved in it, it will remain to be seen as a 'front'. it will also remain the easiest and most attractive anti-cap group for people to join, even for those that don't want to join something seen as an SWP front do so because there was no real alternative.
until now
AWIP is a truly non-political campaign aiming to unify all strands of anti-cap views under one simple slogan borrowed from the world social forum - ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE. we follow no political line and we are not a front for anyone, the best way to make sure is to get involved with us and make sure your voice is heard
We are currently planning a public meeting to discuss these issues (date and venue to be confirmed) please send an email to  awip@a16.org.uk to be
involved in further discussion


be cynical, be suspicious, be cautious but be involved
