Fwd: [stop-imf] Ending Global Apartheid: Teach In for Action on the World Bank and IMF

[Chris Burford <cburford@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Quite right that following Genoa, there should be an intensified
theoretical criticisms of global capitalism.

But although there is the argument for reparations to Africa, including for
apartheid and the wars that apartheid South Africa caused over half the
continent, but does anyone know how the organisers of this teach in, extend
the concept of apartheid to talk of "global apartheid"?
