I understand that you can feel it intangible. In my own country it is
so visible that it has been carefully erased from the political
dictionary. It takes less than a minute to trace back the origin of
every and each of our tragedies to imperialist domination. This is
our only, grim and undesired, privilege as a Third World country.

We agree. Fully.

This is the basic mistake. Only the corporate-financial globalization
makes our lives intolerable. Please give me examples and I will show
how, in each case.

Yes, but while you don't we owe to ourselves the duty to go on our
own struggle. And, of course, we do not deserve to be liberated by
"others". Humankind, as Tahir hotly asserts (suppossedly against my
own views) is a unity and liberation of humanity a unified struggle.
But this unity is not a seamless, monolithic unity. The problem lies
in the fact the previous sentence points to.

We are all novice typists. Don't worry. What matters is that we want
to debate and understand the ways to break ahead.
