Good on you Pete – the giant sucking sound will be a constant if these white-collar thieves can drag their investments from country to country – pulling dispensations from govts persuaded that white collars don’t have black hearts.

Extraordinary program!! I wish more people (i.e. voters) here in the U.S would watch it because we definitely have that “giant sucking sound” of jobs leaving this country too. Globalization is really only good for the multinational corporations which have no moral compass, or soul. Maybe all these millions of workers here in the U.S. should lock themselves inside their “plants” and start up them ‘ole machines again! Whoo Hoo … kinda gets the blood flowing a bit – although I’d rather just have a job though …..

carpenter, they didn’t vote for menem, he lost resoundingly.

it was so bad, actually, that he withdrew from the election early rather than face the shame of getting landslided.

that said, the current leadership isn’t much better.

I would love to see the film “Argentina: Hope In Hard Times” (Bullfrog Films) available on topdocumentaryfilms.com. It is a great compliment to The Take. It includes content on factory take-overs but also looks more broadly at the horizontal social movement building in Argentina. As far as I know, it is not available online elsewhere.

After watching this doc the only thing came to my mind was,do the people in Argentina have some kind of short term memory lost?? Half of the country wanted to vote for the same guy who brought the country to its knee? that I don’t get.
