It has been an extremely interesting week here in new york, I have never been at an event that has had such a consistent level of protests, actions, meetings and creative responses spread over more than a week. There have literally been thousands of people on the streets every day since friday protesting against the Bush agenda.

Education is not a Commodity for Trade

31-08-2004 14:29 | Education | World

"Educational policy can and must bring light into globalization.. The world is no longer as simple as in biblical times when the traders could be simply chased out of the temple. Education must remain master in its own house. The dream of humanity of a global peaceful coexistence thorugh encounter and enlightenment is too precious.. Education itself is not merchandise or a commodity.."

McCain and Guiliani pimp Endless Crusade

John McCain and Rudi Giuliani kicked off the RNC last night with two solid speeches without one fact or opinion based in reality. Their speeches spun off into insane Fascist ideals of Uncle Sam scouring the Earth clean of Islam in a never-ending Crusade against those that "hate us because we're free."

Chavéz, Chevron and Microsoft

31-08-2004 09:20 | Venezuela | Globalisation | Technology | World

Despite all the expectations to deepen the Bolivarian process, the president Hugo Chavés Frias, made 2 partnership with the multinational companies Chevron-Texaco and Microsoft. Both agreements were signed before the referedum took place, but were as deliberately mugged by the progressive media and ignored by the conservative media.

One of them is a binacional gasoduto, sponsor by the Venezuela government and the Colombia government and coordinated by the American multinational Chevron-Texaco. Acording to Chavéz it´s a “direct way out of this giant asian market”. To construct the gasoduto, Venezuela volunteer to enter in the Plan Pueblo Panamá, a collection of infrastructure with the objective to respond to the American multinationals needs.

Parallel to that, the Venezuela´s government, via the education ministry, signed with Microsoft a contract to provide software to the schools across the country, contradicting the incentive policy of free software, which the government had adopted until Felipe Péres left the Planification and Development Ministry. According to Richard Stallman, the founder of the GNU movement (free software): “The Venezuela´s government just made a critical error, which consequences will give control of computing to a global corporation: make a contract with Microsoft to use the program in the schools.”

The silence and the non-resistence of the popular movements just amplified this situation, disarticulated by the expectations of the left government speech. In case Chavéz continue with immune posture before popular movements, we will see those movements fight against the local bourgeoisie just to let a free way to the global bourgeoisie, which has no problem to negotiate with the “bolivarian revolution”.

Over 6 million jobs would be created in Germany if the 33 million dependent employees worked a fifth less. Over 100 billion Euro would be restored to state treasuries. The society is rich enough to afford wage adjustment. All that is needed is political will, not neoliberal indifference and mythology.

NYC - Reason to call an Imperialist Empire Fascist

Americans are easily fooled, tricked and used - the rich are very clever. All of this has been planned for many decades. Now we all must suffer because the West will not share the oil, the money or the power. The foreign entanglements that your founding fathers worried of are what have brought war to your door - terror to your streets and defeat to your generation. For defeat is unavoidable for the West.

Tres días después de la celebración del Referendo Revocatorio en Venezuela, encontramos a Domingo Alberto Rangel tomándose un café bien tempranito en Sabana Grande. Este ritual lo repite semanalmente, y en torno a su mesa se detienen quienes desean saber de su propia voz, la opinión de uno de los intelectuales marxistas más prolíficos de Venezuela, autor de más de 60 libros, sagaz articulista de prensa y motor de experiencias revolucionarias como el MIR y el GAR en el país. Periodistas de El Libertario se acercaron para conocer su valoración del escenario político tras la cita refrendaria.
