i dont think you get it ace. if you imagine that the thread is only about the fact that strauss-kahn issued the statements in the op, you're mistaken. this is more about the movement to deal with the obvious, which is that a result of neoliberal practices, cheered on by the nationalist right in the states (the neo-fascist right would of course oppose this, but there's not line separating what would be neo-fascism in europe and good ole american conservatism in general) has produced conditions that outstrip the control of any nation-state. so the result will sooner or later be trans-national regulation of capital fows. the only question is the politics of it, not whether it'll happen.
