What are its strengths? Sometimes it just seems like a white racist's view of the world with the moral valorization reversed. It divides the world into white people and everyone else, with everyone else constituting about 90% of the human population.
It's interesting that there are so many complaints about the anti-IMF movement in the US. being almost exclusively white. Since most of the victims of the IMF are "people of color," shouldn't there be more solidarity coming from Americans of color? Why isn't there?
