[Marxism] Debtors of the World, Unite!

[Yoshie Furuhashi <furuhashi.1@xxxxxxx>]

"Debtors of the World, Unite!" (The "bankruptcy reform" bill passed
the House on a 302-126 vote on Thursday, a month after the Senate
voted 74-25."  It is time for the American wing of the global justice
movement, which has been struggling to force the International
Monetary Fund and the World Bank to drop the debt under which
peasants and workers of the global South groan, to take on the
finance and credit industry that oppresses US workers by usury.  Why
not begin this weekend, when global justice activists gather in
Washington D.C. to protest the 2005 Spring Meetings of the World Bank
and the International Monetary Fund?  Unless and until US activists
of the global justice movement begin to connect the debt burden on US
workers with that on workers and peasants in poor nations, the
movement will never grow beyond usual suspects.  Charity, an exercise
in altruism, need not begin at home, but class struggle that has a
winning chance surely does.) -- FULL TEXT:
