The term "alter-globalism" or "alter-globalization" stems from a popular slogan of the movement “Another world is possible” which came out of the World Social Forum. The name "anti-globalism" having first been introduced in 1999, alter-globalism was preferred to highlight the fact that the movement was favorable to a form of globalization that would be different from the current [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] [[Neoliberalism|neoliberal]] globalization.

There is notno precise date for the beginning of the alter-globalist movement. It is rooted in the protest movements of the early 1980's1980s in southern countries with the fight, first against Third World's debt and the IMF's structural adjustment plans, then against the WTO. Alter-globalism appears in part as a conjunction between different Western currents [[File:Anticap.png]] critical of capitalism, and [[File:Antiimp.png]] anti-imperialist currents in the South.

The movement generally opposes [[File:Econlib.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism|economic liberalism]] and the[[File:Neoliberalism-alt.png]] [[Neoliberalism|financial]] [[Globalism|globalization]] to promote a more [[File:LeftSocdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|social]] [[Socialism|economy]] [[File:Soc-h.png]] and redistribution of wealth. These demands are reflected in a search for alternatives, global and systemic, to the international order of finance and trade. Its culture is makedmarked by the libertarian left tradition and/or radical ecology. The movement oscillates between [[File:Reform.png]] [[Reformism|reformism]] (for example the demand for the "Tobin Tax" advocated by the ATTAC organization at its fundationfoundation) and [[File:Lpop.png]] [[Left-Wing Populism|more radicalradi]][[Libertarian Socialism|cal views]] [[File:Libsoc.png]].

There are a number ofseveral positions and demands common to many alter-globalist organizations:

* [[File:Leftpop-0Lpop.png]] [[Left-Wing Populism]] - Power to the people of every country.

*[[File:Postconan.png]] [[Post-Colonial Anarchism]] - One of my supporters! He knows a true anti-colonial revolution comes from co-operationcooperation.

*[[File:ZapaAuton.png]] [[NeozapatismoAutonomism]] - You were one of my main inspirations!

*[[File:Leftnat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism]] - Internationalism does not mean we have to abandon national soverginitysovereignty. In fact, we need cooperative self-determination.

*[[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism]] - Well, at least youYou love internationalism, oppose liberalism, and a lot of your advocates are anti-imperialists, just drop your authoritarian/totalitarian tendencies (and for some, social imperialism) and we're good.

*[[File:Mao.png]] [[Maoism]], [[File:MLM.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism–Maoism]], [[File:Mao3word.png]] [[Maoism-Third Worldism]] and [[File:Guevara.png]] [[Guevarism]] - Yeah... You have good ideas, but violence and totalitarianism isare never the answer.

*[[File:World.png]] [[Globalism]] - On the other side of the coin. You force people into your land, you're just alternative imperialism!

*[[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] [[Neoliberalism]] - Burn in hell! You're just a sellout who is more concerned about money than real cooperation.
