Opinions

Socialism

Ramonet says that it is a betrayal of socialism for some social democrat parties to have chosen the third way between socialism and capitalism.[2]

Fidel Castro

The NGO Reporters without Borders had written about Ramonet's strong relationship with Fidel Castro. Ramonet denied this claim in 2002.[3] In May 2004, Ramonet supported Castro in a direct television interview when Castro protested about Forbes Magazine's list of country leaders' wealth. Castro was number 7 on the list.[4]

In 2006, Ramonet praised Castro in a series of articles in Foreign Policy journal.[5] He was approved as Castro's only authorised biographer.[6] In September 2006, Ramonet published Fidel Castro : Biografía a Dos Voces.[7]

Against globalization and neoliberalism

Ramonet has called for autarky and for regulation, taxes and tariffs that reduce international trade.[2]

ATTAC

According to Ramonet, globalization and ultra-liberalism threaten the sovereignty of national states. In his December 1997 editorial "Disarming the markets", Ramonet attributed the Asian economic crisis to globalization, and said that it threatened the identity of national states. To counter this, he called for an NGO to promote the Tobin tax on foreign exchange. He became a founder of Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions and for Citizens' Action (ATTAC).[2]
