The IMF: Raping The World, One Poor Nation At A Time

Posted on Friday, April 24 at 08:37 by NAUWATCH

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been described as one of the enforcers of globalization.  Nations who receive IMF assistance are often forced to surrender more sovereignty and further open up their borders to international banks and multinational corporations.

    Example: Canada :rock:

    But then, I've been a citizen of this country for 70 years, and in all that time, we have never really had our own entire, complete "sovereignty", free of the taint of foreign Empire ass kissing. The "globalization" of recent years, for this country anyway, has only but continued an already long standing "compromised" state of affairs; from fighting Britain's European and colonial wars to fighting the wars of US Empire Imperialism and integration into their quasi-colonial "globalization" regime.

    Hopefully... and get that I say "hopefully", the growing collapse of this global capitalism regime will, if nothing else, like the new regime of US enforcement of its borders with this country, force this country and its citizenry to finally contemplate what they have to here only too slavishly compromised, and the still largely unthinkable... a final push and shifting of loyalties, support and ACTION away from this global capitalist system, and toward a new "democratic-co-operative" order of societal/economic affairs and a statehood/community-hood with actual, more real than bullshit "national sovereignty".

    Mind, I've been holding my breath for one hell of a long fucking time now on this one, until I'm just about ass kissing Tory Blue in the face, even though I still have a beating red and black heart. :D

    C'mon you dipshits, at least give me a chance to get one shot off, into the heart of the Mad Dog Beast. 8)

    There won't be any changes for the better as long as neoclassical economics are rammed into students' heads in our universities.

    Friedmanite dogmatism is the Holy Scripture used by big business and ideologically brainwashed and crooked politicians to destroy the environment and humanity.

    There's no point in blaming the predator class without going after the fraudulent tenets of the scriptural crap they're using to legalize the biggest crime wave in human history.

    Why is everybody afraid to go after the professors teaching this fraudulent garbage?

    "Friedmanite dogmatism is the Holy Scripture used by big business and ideologically brainwashed and crooked politicians to destroy the environment and humanity."

    Since you consider hiring, promoting and compensating based on merit to be "Friedmanite", then at least some of that dogma is valid and useful.

    While you call yourself an "individualist", while promoting forced collectivization, similar to the Soviet economic and Stakhanovist systems, and the destruction of real private enterprise, perhaps you could enlighten us who should decide what "merit" is?

    People and businesses who do the largest scale destruction while stealing billions from the public's pocket ?

    How about the head of the Exxon corp. who retired last year, and was handed a $500. million golden handshake, after having collected years of mega millions salaries? What was his "merit"?

    How about the top 100 Canadian CEOs who took home an average of $10. million last year, or the head of the Royal Bank with $42. million, while busting their heads on how to fire and hire more low wage part timers, as "efficiency measure" ? What was their "merits"? having been the biggest thieves?

    At least I can show a lifetime record of individualism, without hurting anybody or the environment, in fields few can even imagine, while all we can hear from you are cookie cutter propaganda cliches from the likes of the advertising outfits called the Fraser and CD Howe Inst.

    Wouldn't the residents of Prince William Sound have liked even that "pittance"......

    Yup, Fait is right in at least one regard. The only real way of dealing with the "predator class" is for at least a significant enough mass of ordinary folks to stop behaving like helpless prey. (I say "enough" only because many, maybe even "most" won't stop behaving like prey, in all likelihood, for a plethora of reasons, having to do with programmed conditioning etc, real and imagined. But then real history making, fortunately, as the predator class itself well understands, only requires that a rough and dirty "enough" do take up the fight, to render the somnambulist or timid rest inconsequential, or in any case, reluctant/unwilling to "enable or assist" the predator class at least.)
