Mumbai Resistance 2004

Against Imperialist Globalization and War

The MR-2004 is a four day international event, scheduled for January 17-20, 2004. It is independent of and will run parallel to the World Social Forum (WSF), Mumbai.

It is part of the process of building a strong worldwide anti-imperialist movement going beyond the limits of WSF (see Why Mumbai Resistance 2004) towards organised resistance in continuation of the militant traditions of the recent anti-globalisation and anti-war movements.

MR 2004 has a clear and unambiguous anti-imperialist focus (Introducing MR 2004) and seeks to unite those who are genuinely opposed to imperialist globalisation and wars of aggression. Through sharing experiences and analysing imperialist strategies, it aims at developing a perspective that will take the movement forward, and uniting all struggling forces, irrespective of the forms of struggle they may choose, to confront and ultimately defeat imperialism.

MR 2004 stands for a concretely defined alternative socio-economic structure (unlike the amorphous “another world is possible” of the WSF) built on a basis of self-reliance, moving towards a genuine socialist order.

MR 2004 will hold a two-day seminar and a series of workshops (a brief outline of the programme) (primarily on issues that affect the lives of the people), a day of cultural resistance on January 19th and a mammoth mass rally on January 20th.

We call on all those in favour of a militant and sustained struggle against imperialist globalisation and war to join this process.See Introducing Mumbai Resistance 2004.

Well im a resident of New Zealand but originally from Bombay. If it was not for globlization i would have got chance to get out of the streets of mumbai and see the world have a wonderful job oppurtunity.

Whites have ruled india in past centuary. Now its time of indians to become globe trotters. The whites are increasinly getting aware of the situation that all the jobs from their country is outsourced to countries like india and china . And now when its their turn they have started Anti globilazition. Thats bullshit.



The Inevitable, Globalization and Exploitation, Ganesh Alive

The post by Sonny regarding Globalization proves a valid point--nothing can be stopped where international pressure is exerted, including the hybridization of man with an elephant through transgenics. Ganesh as the Hindu God is called will likely be almost manifested in the flesh soon due to transgenics.

The DNA or Genome of man has already been deciphered through DNA analysis. Now there is work underway in the USA and likely elsewhere to decipher the DNA of an elephant.

If you put the size of an elephants brain and body with the mental capacity of man, and also if the gene for intelligence in man is located and amplified in the same being, it will likely resemble Ganesh, although, she or he will be in the flesh.

All of those things like globalization, syndication, and genetic manipulations are inevitable regardless of who tries to stop it. Is mankind's life span as we know it coming to an end?

We could be looking at a new super species of man, or we could be looking at transgenics Helter Skelter.

Pass the deodorant. Things are starting to smell a little gamey for SainTramBone.
