The "bankruptcy reform" bill "passed the House on a 302-126 vote on Thursday, a month after the Senate voted 74-25." It is time for the American wing of the global justice movement, which has been struggling to force the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to drop the debt under which peasants and workers of the global South groan, to take on the finance and credit industry that oppresses US workers by usury.
Why not begin this weekend, when global justice activists gather in Washington D.C. to protest the 2005 Spring Meetings of the World Bank and the international Monetary Fund? Unless and until US activists of the global justice movement begin to connect the debt burden on US workers with that on workers and peasants in poor nations, the movement will never grow beyond usual suspects.
Charity, an exercise in altruism, need not begin at home, but class struggle that has a winning chance surely does.

There’s an old saying in business:
When you owe somebody $10,000, they own you.
When you owe somebody $10,000,000, you own them.
If the world’s debtors worked collectively, it wouldn’t take much to make the NewWorldOrder Bank and the International M***** F****** to pay attention. How do you think Donald Trump survives when he owes more money than all the people reading this website collectively owe?
Money is power, and debt is money. They can’t repossess your country, so countries shouldn’t pay unless the creditors play ball.
