Reply #3: hypocritical garbage [View All]

More often than not Monbiot comes out with shrill, hysterical nonsense but this one really takes the cake.

Quite franky this guy is the example why the anti-globalisation left has little or no credibility with Western working classes. Hes prepared to grin as his countrymen lose their jobs to satisfy his guilt ridden white concience.

Im hardly aginst mobility of jobs and capital across borders. But while 99% of the time Monbiot condemns it, this time he comes out in favour of it as "global justice and the distribution of wealth around the world", when all it is is capitalism in action. The reality is corperation give bugger all difference about who they can make a buck off, they would ship jobs off to Mars if it was profitable.

I dont actually have a problem with the points the article brings up, some of what it said was pretty accurate. But coming from Monbiot its just indulgent and hypocritical. Ultimately his type contribute nothing to any meaningful debate over globalisation and the world economy.
