Pick your country and you find the
people in conflict with the system. From East to West, from North to
South, the system is in turmoil, people no longer accept what is
thrown at them.
The Middle East is explosive, Kiev is a
battle zone, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Indonesia, Greece, all
have the people on the streets demanding change. Though apartheid
in South Africa, has gone as an accepted system, the people still
suffer inequality, and injustice, as they still sweat under the
capitalist system. In South Africa 80,000 platinum miners have been
on strike for two weeks, despite their grinding poverty and the
state's brutality. The strikers have turned down a 7% increase, but
the strike is about more than money, it is about dreadful working
conditions, injustice and inequality. The usual symptoms of a system
that doesn't fit the people's world. One day we will surely pull all
these battles together, after all it is one struggle, and with one
massive movement, rid this world of the greatest crime against
humanity, capitalism.
Read the full article HERE:In South Africa, miners have rejected a 9 percent wage increase offer from the platinum industry as their strike enters its second week. Tens of thousands of members of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, or AMCU, walked off the job last week to protest harsh working conditions. They are also asking for a living wage that will double their current wages. Tensions have been high between the sides, with the media reporting several acts of violence in mining towns.
