Capitalist countries have closer relations than ever >due to globalisation under the aegis of the USA and its military arm on an >international scale, NATO. They have succeeded in dealing destructive blows >to their enemies. Nevertheless the main contradictions have become sharper >and new contradictions have emerged. While expanding and developing its >forces of production, capitalism is less and less capable to provide for the >needs of the majority of humankind, and capitalism now is destroying the >basis of civilisation. In the periphery of the imperialist centres, ever >more people are starving, and even in the rich countries misery is >spreading, exploitation and alienation are side effects of the consumerist >pattern. Ten years of neocapitalism in Eastern europe and the former USSR >brought poverty and despair to millions of people there. Now these nations >have been thrown in terms of social development. We do not see any peace and >the world has become more unstable than ever before. Not even the >imperialists of the USA and Europe really kow were this world is going. > >By gathering the opposition forces against globalisation in Assisi, we took >the example of the revolt in Seattle that has extended throughout all >Europe. This announces the end of the �belle �poque� in spite of the limits >of this protest. The siren song of Capital about the �best of all possible >worlds� which has paralysed the masses is coming to an end. The silence is >now over which opens the way for new revolts, not only in the semi-colonial >countries where the flame of revolution has never been extinguished in spite >of all their difficulties, but also in the heart of the imperialist >countries. Although the traditional workers movement still seems in a state >of paralysis, new actors are appearing in the scene that has been produced >by the contradictions of globalisation and have a political passion about >the future of humanity and anti-capitalist instinct and are beginning to >fight. > >In Assisi a great number of organisations have expressed their collective >opposition to capitalist globalisation. Those who have participated with >their delegations and all those who only could express their support and >solidarity from far away, together we have made a first step to build the >camp of anti-imperialists that fights the totalitarism of globalisation, > >* to fight against interventionism, imperialist militarism, the new >professional armies, paramilitary forces, low intensity war and >militarisation. From Assisi we call for a fight against NATO, against all >the political-military instruments of imperialist domination and national >governments that are agents of imperialist globalisation. > >* to demand the liberation of political prisoners that have been put in >prison by the anti-democratic and fascist regimes that want to silence the >peoples' protest with repression by police, military and restriction of the >most elementary human and civil rights. From Assisi we will begin to promote >all possible initiatives for solidarity for the freedom of political >prisoners and smash those repressive laws that violate the human rights. > >* in solidarity with the liberation fight of the opressed because all people >and movements that fight consistently against imperialism must be supported. >To give up the fight for mere promises and a lot of paper agreements did no >solve any of the problems that has made the people arise. We revolutionary >anti-imperialists respect all the banners under which this fight is carried >on and oppose the �humanitarian and democratic� propaganda that imperialism >uses to justify its interventionist crimes. From Assisi we will promote a >solidarity boat to break the criminal embargo against Yugoslavia as a symbol >of protest against all the hunger embargos that make suffer the people of >Irak, Yugoslavia, Cuba and others who have not surrendered to the new world >order. > >* to forge internationalist solidarity to link the struggles in the West >with the struggles of the oppressed people. The unification between the >revolutionary peoples struggle in the oppressed countries of the so called >�Third World�, the national and social liberation struggle of the oppressed >nations in Europe, the workers struggles, women�s liberation movement and >all the new forms of struggle that we have seen in Seattle can develop the >necessary international counter-power of the people to stop the empire of >injustice. With the slogan �From Seattle to San Vivente Caguan� we call for >the necessary solidarity with peoples power in Colombia to stop the >militarist and interventionist threat of imperialism. > >* to oppose the disinformation media and information control devices like >Echelon. From Assisi we propose to build our own alternative >anti-imperialist communication network. > >* to denounce the destruction of nature by new technologies of devastation, >because it is impossible that humanity, men and women, can survive in an >destroyed nature. But only a free humanity can stop the destruction of >nature. From Assisi we give our support to the peasants, indigenous people >and movements that are fighting against the multinational corporations and >the institutions of globalisation (WTO, IMF, World Bank) that exploit >mankind and nature; > >>From Assisi we call all the anti-imperialists to unite in a common network >of anti-imperialists that we have started to build at the Assisi Summer Camp >2000 and now is in its first steps.
