Dear Lasneters:

A LARGE-SCALE "SCAM"

"The mantra of global socialism is a large-scale inellectual scam that
has diverted government from tackling problems in their[sic] own back
yards.
"By focusing on the international brotherhood myth, one gets
misplaced priorities. It distorts your view of the world and prevents
you from coming to grips with the real problems -- social injustice,
inflation, class immobility.
"These tough issues have been neglected as governments embraced
global equality as a social and economic panacea. But, like the parable
of the emperor, this economic theory has no clothes. Instead of helping
domestic economies, global socialism has been used as a cover for harsh
labour policies, such as forced cooperativism."
