Propping Up a Broken Capitalism

03-11-2009 05:16

Five years ago it would be unthinkable that a harsh critique of capitalism would attract a mass audience. But this is exactly what Michael Moore’s new movie — Capitalism: A Love Story — has done. The source of Moore’s success is his willingness to focus on what the media ignores: the human faces behind unemployment, bankruptcy, foreclosures, evictions, etc., and the faces benefiting from this misery — the corporate-elite sitting atop the financial system.

With one month to go till the 10th anniversary of the seattle/euston/worldwide demonstration/protests/riots that successfully disrupted the WTO (and began a process whereby that organisation continues to struggle to get a new round of trade talks going...) and highlighted the growing anti-capitalist, alter-globalist movement of movements, it's time to start planning anniversary actions...

More than ever, the oil must be ours

28-10-2009 19:13

Just like in the beginning. With the same passion and the same radicality of campaign "The oil is ours". If, in the 1950's, when our daily production was 2,300 barrels, the whole country has mobilized in favor of retaining the oil wealth to Brazilians, what to say about today, when, in only four fields, it is estimated that the reserves of pre-salt layer will produce 16 billion barrels?
