2001.11.13
ACA (Anti-Capitalist Action)
Anti-Capitalist Action is opposed to the WTO (World Trade Organization)
Cabinet meeting held from the 9th of this month to the 13th in Doha
in Middle East Qatar.
We(I) are opposed to global deployment of capitalism, and all the systems
for the further profits pursuit. The globalization which is advancing
on a scale of present worldwide is for just accomplishing the above
systems. And none other than the multinational company is carrying forward
such a system. There is only that it is what this WTO is also formed
of the interest of the advanced capitalism countries which drew the
expectation of such a multinational company, and is present in it. all
reflection on the globalization which is the greatest factor which make
the answer hard to take out there for there to to be not only no answer
to expansion of the poverty expanded on a scale of terrestrial and various
inconsistencys produced on it, but -- it is not It is [ that such a
meeting is held itself and ] me. - Us Anti-Capitalist Action It opposes.
It deliberates upon the Chinese affiliation problem to WTO, the problem
about a "new round", and the problem about "anti-dumping" which accompanies
it at this WTO Cabinet meeting. It is affiliation [ much multinational
capital is waiting for the opportunity to enter into a guide the labor
force (the inside of it problem of many unfair labor practice-juvenile
labor or labor environment) and the market where China is cheap about
the Chinese affiliation problem to WTO in the inside which has the world
economy in a decelerating trend now first, and ] in such a flow. and
it -- also taking -- it does not correct but criticizes from the position
of being what brings Chinese people expansion of poverty Now, although
the system of the capitalism [ responsibility / the / much of ] centering
on a multinational company has produced although a lot of low income
brackets have occurred even now and, all criticism is lacked to the
fact and there is only that it is what is strengthened further.
Next, agricultural-foods are opposite in the point that the mechanism
of the market from which it is large from the problem of safety or the
principle of stable supply of a meal, and it deviated about the problem
about a "new round" is entrusted extensively. I want to especially impeach
that EU and the United States took the common pace in this meeting.
Before, EU and the United States were opposed to each other on the environmental
problem (transgenics crop problem) and the aids problem (the United
States had spent the subsidy on export of the agriculture of own country
the 65% of whose is the five major major grain companies) to export
crops. And it had surfaced as a problem involving dumping.
The countries of many including the Third World, and many NGOs and
an anti-globalization movement organization have been opposed to neoliberalism-reorganization
(introduction of the market supreme principle in an agricultural section)
of the agriculture advanced [ U.S. ]. However, EU had by arguing about
the United States and an environmental problem, and arguing about the
aids problem to American export crops, and has agreed on the anti-dumping
problem this time. Although it is visible as if it attached a promise
that it was made to tackle with a fixed environmental problem to the
United States, when this glanced, facts differ. I hear that the situation
itself by which it is regulated will be specified as "dumping" about
the problem of the transgenics crops which are the greatest point at
issue of an environmental problem first. the fact -- such a situation
occurred and EU has lost a case That is, there is not the thing of the
more than which says dealings of this EU and United States "should deliberate
[ let's continue from now on and ]" but it only by perfect verbal promise.
From such a fact, EU could say that it conceded completely to the United
States. And as a result, it is not necessary to say that world rule
of the multinational capital in an agricultural section became strong
further. It means the situation where the public in the Third World
or the world is simultaneously put on the basis of the further subordination
of multinational capital. In such a situation, even safety is not guaranteed
not to mention stable supply of a meal.
This WTO meeting has exposed the ugly figure further from the last
Seattle summit. Advanced capitalism countries are desperate in order
to perform the talks turned to the "new round" at any cost at this meeting.
If the bush was reached, it said to the Koizumi day its native country
prime minister, "Failure in Doha of new round starting is not allowed",
and for the reason, it applied on 1-September 2, last year, had an informal
meeting in Mexico, and determined about the contents of defense or a
meeting behind closed doors (green room). and place **** to which the
political freedom of Qatar for the hall was restricted remarkably --
this meeting is attended, shutting out many NGOs
However, opposite voice has gone up all over the world that such advanced
capitalism countries and multinational capital tend to be done. In the
informal meeting in September, people of Mexico staged a demonstration
"Capitalism Kill", "solution having had only a revolution", etc. for
the watchword. Moreover, in the demonstration in India led by the Communist
Party, thousands of people demonstrated "protect the agriculture of
the WTO contrary and us", and "the U.S. having pulled a hand from Afghanistan"
for the watchword, in Bangkok, 100 farmers gathered in front of the
U.S. embassy, it insisted that internationalization of the economy by
the WTO organization pressed the small-scale farmhouse of a developing
country, and 500 persons (a union member and others) collided with the
police force in the South Korean soul.
Anti-Capitalist Action It appeals to you in the world. The WTO Cabinet
meeting impeachment!! It is NO that advanced capitalism countries and
multinational capital tend to be done!! The world convention of the
financial capital which makes **** to do possible, the IMF-World Bank
convention pulverization!! The Afghanistan air-strikes contrary by the
United States!! I will both fight!!
