Pro Business guy chides Marxists for "abandoning Internationalism"

[Gregory Geboski]

It's interesting in that it shows that the Old Man still has some cachet in 
Africa, if capital's propagandists there find it useful to use him as a club 
against the Left. Reminds me of the anti-affirmative action crowd in the US 
always quoting Martin Luther King.

Otherwise, it's the same old crap: "Opponents of globalisation are 
shamelessly anti-Third World and anti-poor." Blah blah blah. The writer has 
his (nonsensical, hypocritical) lines down pat. But it's apparently adapted 
to local intellectual conditions! Impressive, to a point. The caps--or the 
PR firms that they hire--are good at this kind of thing, y'know.

Well here's a strange twist in the argument for
"Globalization".  The author, Leon Louw, is exec.
director of the "Free Market Foundation".  What is
interesting is that he doesn't use the old arguments
from a pro business sense, but tries to make Marxists
feel guilty for being "against internationalism"
