Support the World Bank Boycott!

category international | anti-capitalism | news report author Monday October 25, 2004 00:23author by STOP NYC Inc.

In the spirit of the financial campaign that liberated South Africa from the curse of apatheid, Ireland should join the World Bank bonds boycott!

The World Bank /IMF are U.S. based institutions dedicated to the corporate enslavement of the world through the imposition and enforcement of yank-style "free market" economic policies like "structural adjustment" and privatization of vital resources that deprive millions! This is what is meant by "globalization"! We can fight back against these fascist institutions by urging our governments, unions, university and municipalities to DISINVEST IN WORLD BANK BONDS-this is how the World Bank raises its funds to impose its policies! Organize now to join the global campaign to disinvest in World Bank bonds!

by which I think you mean (after consulting one of my little brats) liquidify my stock in the World Bank by selling my bonds to some third party, how can you suggest this will alter the situation?
If you want to answer using all the usual angry boy jargon go ahead, but maybe a little better understanding on what bonds are, who buys and sells them, and what happens if for example I sell my bonds to feed the brats, and then everyone elses' bonds depreciate in value, pushing up the price of food, so that in the end...
