Leftists have ourselves to blame, in that we have yet to make global
protests against G8, the WB, the IMF, & the like clearly protests
against capitalism & imperialism, rather than against "free trade" &
"globalization." I don't think we'll be able to create the
internationalist Left & make it grow by letting the other side
portray us as opponents of "free trade" & "globalization."
