 ATTAC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Though ATTAC criticises the neoliberal ideology dominating economic globalisation, it is not "anti-globalisation".
ATTAC aims to formalise the possibility of an alternative to the neoliberal society that is currently required of globalisation.
Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens (ATTAC - Association pour la Taxation des Transactions pour l'Aide aux Citoyens) is an activist organization for the establishment of a tax on foreign exchange transactions.

 Attac - Attac
ATTAC disapproves the existing form of globalisation, a globalisation dominated by neo-liberal motives and oriented to serve the interests of the rich and of large enterprises: The world is not a merchandise.
ATTAC has to focus on a certain set of issues even within the area of economic globalisation, for political effectiveness also depends on the ability to formulate positions in a simple and convincing message, as it has successfully been done with the Tobin tax issue.
ATTAC is always open for tackling new issues, either if organisations or networks that have already existed before become members and bring new potential to ATTAC, or if members tackle new issues.

 ATTAC France / Versions étrangères / English / James Tobin, the Tobin Tax and Attac
Attac stands for "Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens".
As Attac's constituent platform makes quite clear, taxing financial transactions is only one way of fighting neo-liberal globalisation.
Through disinformation, they are seeking to undermine the position of Tobin-tax supporters on the very eve of the meeting between Attac and Laurent Fabius and above all of the 22nd-23rd September meeting in Liège of the EU finance ministers (Ecofin) that has the proposal on its agenda.

 ATTAC France / Versions étrangères / English / Tobin Amendment voted in by the French National Assembly
ATTAC is therefore delighted at this decision which represents a political and symbolic move forward and can now serve as a precedent for other Parliaments throughout Europe and as a foothold for our future campaigns for a true application of this tax.
In 1999 and 2000 the various "Tobin Amendments" tabled by MPs in the Parliamentary Committee of ATTAC members were refused by the Government and rejected by a majority of MPs.
During the audience that Laurent Fabius granted ATTAC on September 13th he publicly committed himself to ensuring that the study is carried out in a transparent way and that expert opinions from all sides are taken into account.

 In These Times 25/12 -- On The ATTAC
ATTAC was formed primarily in reaction to what it calls the "dictatorship of the market" imposed by "financial globalization." The group argues not only for more regulation of the market, but preservation of a realm free from market values.
Although it continues to push for the Tobin tax, which is gaining substantial support even among moderate politicians in much of Europe and Canada, ATTAC also campaigns against the World Trade Organization (especially new rules on trade in services that could threaten the public sector), tax havens, privatized pensions and genetically modified food.
Resisting the easy label of being "anti-globalization," ATTAC leaders insist they favor greater global integration, but in a quite different way from that promoted by the International Monetary Fund, WTO and most European governments.

(For comparison, the percentage of Attac members participating in votes of the General Assembly was 17% in 1999, 18% in 2001, 25% in 2002, 20.3% in 2003 and 24% in 2004.)
The participation of our members at this meeting was exceptionally high: 12,609 votes were received (to which must be added about 400 not yet tabulated because the returned voting envelopes contained other materials as well, e.g., membership applications), i.e., 44% of our 29,500 members as of December 9, 2004, the time of their dues contributions.
Although this sum is little relative to the means available to the “yes”, augmented by the militancy potential of its members, it will weigh very heavily in the balance for the victory of the “no”.

Attac -- the acronym for the Association for the Taxation of financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens -- opposes the trend in globalization that is dominated by neoliberal economics and social welfare cutbacks, Mr.
As a precaution, they have amended their articles of association so that, in the future, members of political parties may only join this alliance of Third World organizations, environmental associations and "groups critical of capitalism," as supporters without voting rights.

For a British version of ATTAC to be formed, one would need the prior involvement of trade unions and intellectuals outside these sectors.
Today there is zero discussion of enlargement—absolutely zero—because that is what makes life easy for transnational companies and financial markets.

Indeed, France's president, Jacques Chirac, was the first head of state among the Group of Eight countries to advocate Attac's main demand -- application of the so-called Tobin tax, a 0.5 percent tax on short-term currency speculation.
"Attac now deals with energy policy, the water business, tax evasion -- it's becoming a variety store," Rucht said.
In the future, they want to work closely with established and financially strong organizations, like the trade unions, as they did during last year's demonstration against German labor market reforms.

 ATTAC und die 'Linke'
ATTAC ist jedoch weder soziologisch noch politisch-ideologisch eine solche Organisation.
Bereits die Entwicklung der PDS, in der immerhin in breitem Maße ein wenn auch weitgehend pervertiertes marxistisches Grundverständnis existierte, hat gezeigt, daß unter Bedingungen der fehlenden Mobilisierung der Arbeiterklasse eine politisch heterogene Organisation, in der 'Revolutionäre' mit Reformisten kohabitieren, die Marginalisierung der 'Revolutionäre' nicht verhindert werden kann.
Die Orientierung auf den Aufbau einer solchen Organisation schließt naturgemäß die systematische Entlarvung der reformistischen Irreführer der Organisation aus, weil das notwendigerweise bald zur Spaltung statt zum Aufbau von ATTAC führen würde.
