The war: a tool of capitalist repression.

For Raymond Legault from the coalition, Échec à la guerre ("Failure in the war") who organized the large manifestations in the winter and the spring against the war on Iraq threatened by the U.S. and its allies, the difference between a dictatership and democracy is that in the first one they tell you to shut up and in the second one they tell you to keep talking. The proof is that the demonstrations didn`t stop the war.
The activist participated in the workshop "War and Globalization" at UQAM, yesterday. It is Iraq`s oil that subsidizes the WTO. And it is the WTO that urges governments to increase their military expenditures. To impose "democracy" in Iraq, the United States military is spending about four billion dollars a month on the war, an unacceptable way of improving the gross domestic product of the country. A director of Lockheed Martin (the largest arms producer in the U.S.) said that when he sees the stars in his company`s logo, he sees them as stars of the American flag.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Impliquez-vous !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
