Margaret Killjoy: 我想做一期特别节目,主要讲述新自由主义以及全球范围内反抗这一趋势的运动。新自由主义的核心在于打破国家之间的贸易壁垒,但现在我们面临的问题恰恰相反,特朗普政府奉行贸易战,利用关税来增加富人的财富。自由贸易协定本身也可以被用来使富人更富,关键在于如何操作。新自由主义看似已经消亡,但从其尸体中诞生的却是更糟糕的东西——法西斯主义。因此,我们不能简单地认为所有的自由贸易协定都是好的,因为法西斯分子想要废除它们。本系列节目将探讨全球左翼力量如何形成,重点关注墨西哥恰帕斯的萨帕塔运动,以及汇集了农民、朋克和其他各色人等的反全球化运动。这些运动通过创造性的非暴力直接行动,成功阻止了新自由主义世界秩序的蔓延,是历史上最成功的运动之一,也是大规模直接民主的典范。然而,由于它们没有夺取国家政权,其成就往往被忽视。我本人也是在几十年前被这场反全球化运动卷入政治的。
