Privatizing Libya.



It is an important point that this guy makes in this interview, that what is at stake here is state property. The love affair that the west has with Gorbachev was due to him handing over state assets to the private sector, many of them former KGB thugs.  But fellow capitalists are very forgiving.  What the US did in Iraq was privatize by the bomb and that is what the UN is doing in Libya through NATO.  NATO, stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which is now dominated by US capitalism as it is the most powerful economy up to now and the world's most prolific arms dealer. NATO also stretches from Pakistan and the Indian Ocean to the western Mediterranean; some ocean that North Atlantic.

A huge percentage of the Libyan population are against this invasion and the consequences of this action will be a very volatile future in that country.
