Talk:Alter-globalization

With regards to the following sentence;

"It is supposed to distinguish proponents of alter-globalization from different "anti-globalization" activists (those who are against any kind of globalization: nationalists, protectionists, communitarians, anarchists, etc.)."

I do not understand why anarchism is listed here. Anarchism has always been a global movement, in fact it is anarchists who are the only consistent group proposing 'no borders', in itself a form of globalisation. I have as such deleted anarchists from this list.--Horses In The Sky (talk) 21:06, 21 October 2009 (UTC) Reply

This page is basically an apologia for "alter-globalization" without a balanced presentation of counter-arguments and other points of view. This is compounded by frequent use of un-attributed assertions and quotes, as well as frequent un-attributed use of weasel words such as "may have been," "believed to be" etc. The few citations are self-published by persons and groups close to the subject and favorable to it, rather than reliable third party sources. This article should be massively cleaned up or marked for deletion. 96.35.161.10 (talk) 11:50, 14 December 2011 (UTC) Reply

Cleaned up, yes. It reads as a collection of statements of various persons without ant sort of synthesis or synergy. But do not delete, it is absolutely an important movement. 2601:2C6:4300:B8C0:C0E:A616:421A:10C4 (talk) 01:43, 13 April 2023 (UTC) Reply

This entire section needs work. It makes a great deal of assumptions around the Internet, based on an "ideal" Internet. It does not take censorship, accessibility, filtering (see filter bubble), or net neutrality into account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.113.2.65 (talk) 07:06, 9 December 2012 (UTC) Reply

Could an editor with access to Before Seattle: The Historical Roots of the Current Movement against Corporate-Led Globalisation shed some light on whether the movement originated in opposition to globalization from the 1970s or from opposition to the Washington consensus in the 1980s? I suppose it could be both but I'm hoping the actual text puts things more succinctly.XeCyranium (talk) 05:30, 27 December 2022 (UTC) Reply

The very first page of the essay, available without subscription,@ JSTOR says that it predates the Washington consensus. Certainly critiques of MNCs were plentiful enough that this commentator wrote a research paper on the subject in the mid-70s. 2601:2C6:4300:B8C0:C0E:A616:421A:10C4 (talk) 01:42, 13 April 2023 (UTC) Reply

The first current of the alter-globalization movement considers that instead of getting involved in a global movement and international forums, the path to social change lies through giving life to "horizontal, participatory, convivial and sustainable values in daily practices, personal life and local spaces."

Out of interest, is this article able to highlight what these grand sounding ideas mean - or how they will do anything to counter the world wide/negative impact of Capitalism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.69.169.2 (talk) 18:14, 25 September 2023 (UTC) Reply
