Resistance is counter-globalization because globalization is a “culture of exclusion,” eliminating jobs universally, instead of creating them, especially in the world of the have-nots. Resistance is directed at market economy thinking and globalization that have threatened planetary economy since the Industrial Revolution: it then took the advent of US Imperialism after the fall of Communism and the technological revolution to achieve it.

The economist Joseph Schumpeter defined the technological revolution as “creative destruction” and in a like manner equated it with globalization. Tourraine—who notes that the majority of people in the world are saying, “I want to be respected, I want to be recognized”—equates globalization with the bourgeoisie, that old name for the capitalist exploiting class. Globalization is a plot of capitalism.
The symbiosis of technological revolution, free market ideology and the expansion of US imperialism has created and fomented the “culture of exclusion” and its gradual and massive death toll among a great part of human society, a culture defined by free market exponents with the glowing term of globalization.
Here again, as the antithesis of Marx’s dialectical process, appears the word resistance. The antithesis to exclusion must perforce be the reappearance of neo-socialists or some kind of neo-socialist thinking. Am I wrong, or is that long-banned and politically incorrect word not appearing more and more in public in the USA? Is Socialism not again becoming salonfähig? Socialism and other forms of resistance such as genuine modernity of thinking also provoke the rabid reactions of neo-religious fundamentalists with their culture of fear and death, a most dangerous ally for exponents of globalization who hopefully will soon have to pay up.
Resistance to injustice should not be seen as revolutionary. But it is! Yet, as a rule, resistance to injustices does not have to mean to block the efficient uses of national resources of any country or to limit individual freedoms. It doesn’t even have to mean support for Socialism. But in my opinion resistance does mean rejection of savage capitalism that worships the market as an absolute, as if it were the end goal of human behavior and human society.
