ABSTRACT
This chapter presents Marx's views on two groups: the localists, who want mainly a local economy, and the new globalists who want a green and democratic global economy as challenging global capitalism and working toward a global socialism. So it is no surprise that an individual country today is locked in by the rules of global capitalism. There is a huge movement to change the current global capitalist order. The global warming is the biggest threat to humanity; this is the highest priority of global alter-capitalism. The WTO, IMF and World Bank, were not necessary in those days because colonial regimes did the dirty work they perform, must be abolished and replaced by new global governance agencies that make human rights, worker rights, and the environment the top priorities. The alter-globalization movement targets these three institutions as a corporate controlled world government, protecting profit rather than people in the name of 'neo-liberal' capitalist ideology and 'free trade' agreements.
