The "Strawman" fallacy consists of creating a flimsy caricature of your opponents view, and then demolishing it, rather than arguing against your opponents actual views. It is overwhelmingly the favorite approach of the corporate media in dismissing the movement against neoliberalism and corporate globalization. Thus, The Strawman's Revenge.
The Strawman's Revenge has begun as one volunteer's idea. To survive and flourish in the IMC spirit, it needs to become the product of a working group drawn from IMCs across the globe. Anyone interested in becoming part of this working group should contact me, Paul Rosenberg at
