ANOTHER WORLD IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE
MUST
The walkway of the powerful media of the Earth together their first ladies is over. The result is a stalemate decorated with empty formulas ("people first") and vague commitments, but no agreement in favor of the weak. The eight leaders have left unchanged the global capitalist system that in its most ruthless liberalism, is responsible for the economic crisis. This capitalist globalization has produced more poverty to the people and the underprivileged classes and more wealth for the powerful, to the lobby, to the speculators. These are the outcomes of the summit failed:
CLIMATE
The summit ended without any binding agreement on climate. The eight major climatic problems have only postponed to future generations, in 2050, without adopting strict medium-term objectives, without any investment in developing countries, blaming China and India
In fact, the G8 (with the U.S. in the first place) are responsible for producing nearly half of CO 2 the Earth's atmosphere and pollutant emissions of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) are produced for the most part always by Western multinationals.
the G5 (China, Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa) proposed a 40% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2020, but the G8, under pressure from lobbyists, has scuppered any deal. Not only that, but the same day that the summit will be discussing the climate, the Italian Parliament voted to return to nuclear power against the popular will of the referendum of 1987.
AFRICA AND THE THIRD WORLD
The Africa, a continent rich in human resources and environmental, has been ravaged for decades by the "civilized" Western world, in the name of a pseudo-international law, continues to demand the return of economic debt accumulated by local despotic and corrupt regimes, colluded with the Western superpower, as a result of incessant purchases of military weapons, the main producers and exporters worldwide are, not surprisingly, these western states.
Rich countries have allocated only a meager fund to clean up their dirty conscience, if nothing failed to meet previous commitments (Italy first), allocating one-fifth of the 15 billion dollars pledged at the meeting of the FAO 2008 (while at the same time they gave 96 billion to corporate agriculture). They have not touched the expensive patent medicines against AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis that kill millions of Africans every year and have not yet said water is a inalienable collective nature is not subject to the business market.
REPRESSION OF DISSENT
Berlusconi's government, in line with the strategy of tension of the past, has sought to criminalize the movement by deploying police forces with the intention of peaceful demonstration brutally suppress all dissent. The arrest of 21 members who participated in the Summit of the Wave of the University in Turin and the detention of 36 students at the University Roma 3 shows an unprecedented police violence against young people under 25 years old, riding roughshod over the most basic democratic rights . The goal is stifle a potential global resistance to the system and exclude the masses from active participation in their future.
The best campaigns do not promote organizing events rhetoric and demagoguery, but building from the bottom paths of struggle, processing, reflection, and planning policy, in which the masses can to have a real role of leadership, active and conscious, and not to mere spectators and passive consumers.
RECLAIM THE FUTURE TOGETHER
