Globalisation from below

Capitalist globalisation has created science and techniques that could feed, clothe, house, educate and care for every single person in the world. But private ownership means a handful become unimaginably rich while hundreds of millions are in poverty.

Far from uniting humanity, capitalist globalisation has been carried out by strong nations conquering the weak. To do this the rich imperialist powers use a variety of weapons, from unfair trade and debt bondage through to B52s and cluster bombs.

REVOLUTION fights capitalist globalisation by promoting the globalisation of revolutionary struggle. This means:

We support all rebellions against capitalism, like the uprising of the Argentine working class and youth against starvation and debt.

We demand the abolition of the trillion dollar debt owned by poor countries to Western financial institutions.

We demand the abolition of the IMF, World Bank and World Trade Organisation. We support international mobilisations to blockade their summits and conferences, like at Seattle, Prague, Quebec, Gothenburg and Genoa.

We support a global code of conduct for all workplaces: an end to bonded and child labour, legal limits on the working week, a minimum wage set by the workers of each country and the right for all workers to organise trade unions.

We oppose the ?War on Terrorism?, which is really a pretext for the USA and its allies to wage war for control of global resources and markets.

We promote the greatest possible international organisation of the working class: international alliances of militant trade unionists, a worldwide revolutionary youth movement, a global coalition of working class women?s organisations and a new Workers? International to fight for world socialism.
