I don’t want to give the wrong impression. He began and ended with a call for political action to “end Thatcherism” (probably because he was speaking in Britain). In between he did say that there should be a global movement to try to stop capital accumulation and did instance movements by illegal workers in the US and by indigenous peoples in Bolivia and India as examples of this, but he didn’t outline any alternative to capitalism except to mention once the need for a “zero-growth, non-capitalist” economy without going into any more detail.I think this brings out the difference between “anti-capitalist” and “anti-capitalism”. I’m sure he is anti-capitalism but what he was advocating was resistance to the activities of capitalists within capitalism.It’s a pity you can’t see the video to judge for yourself.
