Why the Left should stop whining
New world politics throws up new challenges - to those who seek practical
solutions and to
anti-globalisation nihilists
The globalisation debate - Observer special

Peter Hain
Sunday January 20, 2002
The Observer

Globalisation is a force that does not allow the luxury of saying, 'Stop, I
want to get off'. It is
impossible to stop satellite television, the internet and telecommunications.
It is impossible to
ban air travel or pop culture; impossible to ban the mobility of capital. The
question, therefore,
is not whether it can be stopped or abolished. Globalisation is a fact of life
and the real question
is: 'What sort of globalisation do we want and how can we get it?'

^^^^^^^^^

CB: Communism is a world system. We want communist globalization. ( I was singing happily when I said that)
