Comrades,
I can see the point that the term "global apartheid" has the potential to
move the focus a bit off of class. However, apartheid is also an economic
relation. Racism is used as a mechanism to secure cheap labor pools and
control over the working class. If we can, at the same time we use this
term, communicate the material basis for the continued existence of racism
(an ideology used to legitimate the "North-South" relation) we might then
have both a good sound bite and a mechanism to reveal the more brutal
aspects of exploitation.
