Globalization is the economic treason that dare not speak it name.
Pat Buchanan
Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason?
Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.John Harington
I speak the truth, not my fill of it, but as much as I dare speak; and I dare to do so a little more as I grow old.
Michel de Montaigne
The dominant propaganda systems have appropriated the term "globalization" to refer to the specific version of international economic integration that they favor, which privileges the rights of investors and lenders, those of people being incidental. In accord with this usage, those who favor a different form of international integration, which privileges the rights of human beings, become "anti-globalist." This is simply vulgar propaganda, like the term "anti-Soviet" used by the most disgusting commissars to refer to dissidents. It is not only vulgar, but idiotic. Take the World Social Forum, called "anti-globalization" in the propaganda system -- which happens to include the media, the educated classes, etc., with rare exceptions. The WSF is a paradigm example of globalization. It is a gathering of huge numbers of people from all over the world, from just about every corner of life one can think of, apart from the extremely narrow, highly privileged elites who meet at the competing World Economic Forum, and are called "pro-globalization" by the propaganda system. An observer watching this farce from Mars would collapse in hysterical laughter at the antics of the educated classes.
Noam Chomsky
Corporate globalization and the economic agreements designed to entrench it have little to do with trade - and all but the most ignorant neo-liberal pundits surely know this too.
David (professor) McNally
Corporations now govern society, perhaps more than governments themselves do; yet ironically, it is their very power, much of which they have gained through economic globalization, that makes them vulnerable.
