[Abstract]
This document tries to be an approximation of a guide for the political
action with integral vision for the various social movements that
separately analise, criticise, denounce and resist THE NEO-SLAVERY BASED
ON INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE, as it is called here by its real name that
always the charlatans and sychophantes under the command of neo-liberal
capitalism (included those of the "social", "human" and "intelectual"
capital) try to disguise it euphemistically. Up to date (13.08.2007) this
draft includes the following estrategies: 1. To analyse, denounce, and
counter-attack the ideological fallacies of "information society",
"knowledge society" and its charlatans; 2. To analyse, resist and
counter-attack the plundering system of the copyright, patents, etc.
(UN-WIPO; WTO); 3. to analyse, denounce, resist and counter-attack the
lobby of the industries of plunder: publishing, information, and knowledge
and its charlatans; 4. to create a Worldwide Union Federation of
Information Workers (to counter-attack the capitalistic and neo-liberal
policies in IFLA, etc.); 5. To create free software cooperation networks
wikis type; Indymedia; etc. to counter-attack the privateering software
monopolies (Microsoft, etc.); 6. To analise, resist and counter-attack the
elitist organisms which serve to capitalism and neo-liberalism such as
IFLA, national associations and their charlatans. [NB: this is a draft of
a work in progress and should be assessed with this caveat].

"Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights."
