Capital’s globalization, whether by means of NAFTA or MERCOSUR, with its pretension of capitalist integration with a “human” face, is against the aspirations and principles of those whom it exploits and their struggle for a tomorrow with liberty, justice and dignity. Another world is possible. A true integration is necessary, integration founded on human solidarity, mutual aid, self-management, acknowledgment and respect for cultural diversity, not the integration imposed by the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas. No to the FTAA,no to their imperialist ambitions and their puppet governments in our America!
