This is an archive of the former website of the Maoist Internationalist Movement, which was run by the now defunct Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika. The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.

Equal Exchange
Visit Equal Exchange
Equal Exchange is involved in trying to boost prices for coffee beans from Central and South America, Africa and Asia. Although
Equal Exchange is a growing business, it has adopted a policy of having a maximum wage for its business members
in order to pass on gains to the coffee farmers. While phony communist and poorly led socialist organizations
in the imperialist countries push for $10/hour minimum wages, MIM finds it refreshing that someone is talking about
bettering Third World wages while keeping a lid on imperialist wages.
