The "Movimento Libertário Cubano" is strongly opposed to this
attempt at imperialist expansion, disguised as an
"integration project", as this new imposition of the USA
threatens:
ˇ the autonomy of indigenous people;
ˇ social gains;
ˇ the planet and its natural resources;
ˇ the environment;
ˇ the freedom of our people.

The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are
suffocating Humanity with implacable demands, legitimated by
corrupt governments and lackeys who carry through their
plans, oppressing and exploiting our class brothers and
sisters from the North to South of America.

The globalization of Capital, be it via the FTAA or MERCOSUL,
with its intended project of capitalist integration with a
"human" face, is an enemy of the aspirations and principles
of the exploited who are fighting for a future with freedom,
justice and dignity. Another world is possible. True
integration is needed, based on human solidarity, on mutual
aid, on self-management, on the recognition of and respect
for cultural diversity - not imposed by means of the FTAA.

No to the FTAA, to imperialist ambitions and to the lackey
governments in our America!
