Crunch Time: A New Wave of Struggles? A Mute Magazine talk
As the global ruling class finally admits that the 'financial' crisis has spilt over into the real economy, the fiction that the credit crunch is containable has been dispelled. Will resistance to capital's genocidal expansion now become equally uncontainable? Can anti-capitalists take advantage of the global system's instability, or will austerity measures and gloves-off geopolitics triumph? Kirsten Forkert (Private Equity Sucks campaign <http://www.privateequitysucks.com/>:http://www.privateequitysucks.com/ ), David Graeber (Emergency Exit Collective <http://info.interactivist.net/node/11074>: http://info.interactivist.net/node/11074 ) and Niels (/End Notes/), discuss the impact of the financial crisis on social movements and explore the potential for a new cycle of struggle from peasants and oil workers to logistics industry employees and anti-finance activists. 5-6 pm, Lecture Room 1 Anarchists Bookfair 2008 Queen Mary & Westfield College, Mile End Road, London, E1 4NS. * http://www.metamute.org/en/content/crunch_time_a_new_wave_of_struggles _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
