by Summary:
British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn addressed United Nations officials in Geneva this Friday in a speech outlining his vision for a twenty-first century internationalism. The speech, scheduled to mark International Human Rights Day, examined the roots of global economic inequality, the developing climate crisis and the impact of war across the world. These “threats to our common humanity,” it argues, can only be overcome with “a global rules-based system that applies to all and works for the many, not the few.” Quoting from late socialist leaders Salvador Allende and Thomas Sankara, Corbyn offers a blueprint for a fundamentally different world order based on international cooperation and solidarity. The speech is reproduced below in full. A shot across the bow of neoliberalism

The speech is reproduced below in full.A shot across the bow of neoliberalism and Thatcher's TINA ("there is no alternative").
There is an alternative to this damaging and bankrupt order. The world’s largest corporations and banks cannot be left to write the rules and rig the system for themselves. The world’s economy can and must deliver for the common good and the majority of its people. But that is going to demand real and fundamental structural change on an international level.Awesome speech. American progressives should familiarize themselves with it.

And it may be the biggest threat to the resistance you’ve never heard of.The Evil Empire strikes again.
