Klein critica la reacción ante la crisis financiera

La intelectual crítica del capitalismo Naomi Klein comenta en el periódico La Vanguardia las medidas de ayuda con las que la crisis financiera internacional debe ser encauzada: "Sea cual sea el significado de los acontecimientos de la semana pasada, nadie debería creer las exageradas afirmaciones de que la crisis de los mercados señala la muerte del libre mercado. ... En épocas de auge, resulta provechoso predicar el laissez faire porque un Estado poco presente permite el crecimiento de las burbujas especulativas. Cuando esas burbujas estallan, la ideología se convierte en una traba y entra en estado de hibernación mientras el 'gran gobierno' corre a prestar auxilio. Ahora bien, que nadie se llame a engaño: la ideología volverá a rugir en cuanto haya concluido el rescate. Las deudas astronómicas que están acumulando los ciudadanos para sacar de apuros a los especuladores se convertirán entonces en parte de una crisis presupuestaria global que servirá de justificación para grandes recortes de los programas sociales. Se nos dirá también que nuestras esperanzas de un futuro verde son, por desgracia, demasiado costosas. Lo que no sabemos es cómo responderá la opinión pública."

Naomi Klein on the Iraq War

In an article entitled "Catastrophe Capitalism", author and globalisation critic Naomi Klein reflects in La Vanguardia on current developments in the global economy, touching among other issues on the Iraq War: "Some of the architects of the Iraq War do not even deny that the prime motivation for the invasion was oil. Fadhil Chalabi, one of the key advisors to the Bush government in the months before the war, recently said that the invasion was 'a strategic action taken by the USA and the UK in the Persian Gulf to  secure oil supplies'. Occupying another state to use its natural resources violates the Geneva Convention. That means that rebuilding the infrastructure in Iraq - including the oil infrastructure - is the task of the invaders. They must pay reparations. (Let us not forget that Saddam Hussein's regime had to pay Kuwait 9 billion dollars in reparations after the 1990 invasion.) Instead, Iraq is being forced to sell 75 percent of its natural resources to pay for an illegal invasion and occupation."

Naomi Klein supports citizen journalism

Interviewed by Jade Lindgaard, the journalist and altermondialist militant Naomi Klein explains that blogs are complementary to investigative journalism. "Blogs have become real alternative journalism, places where scandals can be denounced. To a certain extent they play the same role as the radio does, by repeating and sometimes hammering home information that comes from investigative journalism in the written press. ... . Stories protect you from the shock, soften impact. There is a certain way of telling a story, not just scattering facts. It is the loss of the story, of the collective story, that puts you in a state of shock. This is what makes blogs so exciting: they put information by definition anti-narrative, into context. What citizen journalism manages so well is to take facts and turn them into stories."

Naomi Klein is resigned to selling green and buying guns

In the lead-up to next week's climate change conference in Bali, the canadian activist Naomi Klein comments on statements by a high-power financial advisor, recommending armaments over green technology as a good investment. "The idea that capitalism can save us from climate catastrophe has powerful appeal. It gives politicians an excuse to subsidise corporations rather than to regulate them; and it neatly avoids a discussion about how the core market logic of endless growth landed us here in the first place. ... The market, however, appears to have other ideas about how to meet the challenges of an increasingly disaster-prone world. According to Douglas Lloyd [a financial analyst], the really big money - despite all the government incentives - is turning away from clean-energy technologies, and is banking instead on gadgets that promise to seal wealthy countries and individuals into hi-tech fortresses."
