Think before you act

From Socialism and Democracy, Thomas J. Butko (Alberta): Gramsci and the “Anti-Globalization” Movement: Think Before You Act. From Portal, a special issue on Other Worlds, including S. A. Hamed Hosseini (ANU): Beyond practical dilemmas and conceptual reductions: the emergence of an “accommodative consciousness” in the alternative globalization movement. What’s the world coming to? An interview with Emma Dowling on the World Social Forum beyond critique and deconstruction. Having made her name in the vanguard of the anti-globalisation movement, Naomi Kelin is now taking on "disaster capitalism" and looking to an older audience, while the sophisticated neoliberal linkages and networks revealed in her book are too well documented to be dismissed as paranoia.
