Even though resistance takes many different forms (against the MAI, towards a jubilee year in 2000, for the Tobin tax, seeking alternatives, etc.), and even if the struggles are specific in their aims (farmers, workers, indigenous or coloured
people, citizens, ecologists or women, the urban poor, etc.) and though the various co-ordination groups are numerous (
Peoples Power for the
XXI Century in Asia, São Paulo Forum in Latin America, etc.), all of these have a common thread: they all work to highlight the unacceptable nature of the current economic system.
It is possible for
people to see how life as we know it and the integrity of Earth could be put at risk in these early years of
Century XXI by economic powerbrokers and their bought - and - paid - for politicians, whose idolatry of economic globalization rules the world now.
