First in December in Seattle and then in April in Washington, DC the movement against corporate sponsored\r\n globalization spoke truth to power. Thousands of young people said they were sick of corporate arrogance,\r\n greed, and callous indifference to escalating economic injustice and suffering. They said capitalism and its values\r\n suck. They said they do not believe the economics of competition and greed is all people are capable of. They said\r\n they know people are capable of equitable cooperation and they were going to prove it. First in December in\r\n Seattle and then in April in Washington DC the movement against corporate sponsored globalization exposed\r\n neoliberal lies, challenged mainstream economic myths, opened a real public debate, and changed public opinion\r\n about corporate globalism. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
