Bill Fletcher talk in Sacramento

["Seth Sandronsky" <ssandron@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Capitalist globalization is bad news for most of us.  People fighting for
power held by the moneyed few is a way to turn this around, Bill Fletcher
told about 50 people on October 13 at the Oak Park Community Center in
Sacramento.

Fletcher, Assistant to the President of the AFL-CIO and co-founder of the
Black Radical Congress, called for people to keep translating radical ideas
into action.  One example he praised was the Seattle anti-WTO protests last
year.

As capitalist globalization lowers living and working standards, politicians
blame one group of people as the cause of another group?s problems, noted
Fletcher.  Fascist politics in Europe and genocide in the Third World as a
way to solve social problems should serve as warning to Americans, no
strangers to the rot of racism, he said.

Interestingly, Fletcher supports Democratic Vice President Gore for
president.  His support of Gore instead of Green Party presidential
candidate Ralph Nader was discussed during the question-and-answer period.

Fletcher?s talk was sponsored by the Marxist School of Sacramento.
