Unite against IMF, World Bank and capitalist exploitation
Our world is not for sale!
IN SEATTLE last December the explosion of protests outside the World Trade Organisation conference hit the world's headlines. Since then, increased numbers of protestors have dogged the movements of the global institutions of capitalism.
In July, demonstrators challenged the arrogance and self-indulgence of the world's richest nations, as displayed in the extravagant £500m G8 summit in Okinawa.
In September the focus will be the joint meeting in Prague of the IMF and World Bank - those notorious architects of "structural reforms" imposing cuts in health and welfare spending on the world's poorest countries. As well as mobilisations in Prague itself, British socialists can join a counter-summit to be held in Brighton on September 24. The common goal is to challenge and expose the ruthless logic and exploitation of capitalism, and strengthen the fight for a socialist, internationalist alternative .
