Ahmadinejad: Capitalism Coming to End

HeadlineSep 22, 2010

The attack comes after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed the UN on Tuesday with a call for a new economic system. Ahmadinejad said capitalism is coming to an end.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: “The third millennium should be the millennium with the pursuit of a new order based on pure and righteous governance all over the world and in the centers of power. Now that the discriminatory order of capitalism and hegemonic approaches are facing defeat and are getting close to their end, all-out participation in holding justice and prosperous interrelations is essential.”

Ahmadinejad’s speech was disrupted after UN workers stopped providing English translation, blaming a technical glitch. He’s set to address the General Assembly again on Thursday.
