Solidarity.

 

         We are all suffering from this crisis in exploitation, in relation to inflation wages are dropping rapidly, prices are skyrocketing, the winter promises illness and deaths, through lack of heating, plus the prediction that in two years time we will be 7% poorer than we are now. We must, on the streets, in a untied and determined manner show our anger and disgust at the powers that be who are heaping this poverty on us, shout loud and clear, that we will not tolerate this any longer, there is no law that says we must be poor so that the rich can get richer. There is no rationale that says we must pay for the blunders of the capitalist financial gambling casino Time to say, Enough is Enough, support the strikers in every and any way you can, it is not just their fight, it is our fight for a decent standard of living. 

 Glasgow Keelie supports the strikers.

          Multiple pickets around schools, universities, and Royal Mail centres on Thursday. We have been asked to support one at Strathclyde University by folk in UCU and students solidarity group. Their main picket at Strathclyde on the morning of the 24th will be at the Collins Building or the Learning and Teaching Building on Richmond Street from 9am, probably marching to Glasgow Green for 12.30 for the big union rally.
         Friday the main event will be a joint union rally at Buchanan St steps at 12.30.
And on Saturday, there is the annual Anti Racism march gathering at Glasgow Green at 10.30, leaving at 11am sharp.
All welcome!

Let's Sort This Mess Out.

       We should always be alive to the fact that everything we take as decent conditions in our lives, was never given to us by the system and the powers that be. Everything from half-decent housing to medical care, from the length of the working day to holidays with pay, from lunch breaks to forming a union, all of these things were extracted from an unwilling system and its managers, by the long, bitter and determined struggles, of our forefathers. No matter how confident you may feel about your standard of life, the powers that be are always working hard to take back what we have won by our struggles. As far as the system is concerned, our conditions are a drain on profit and this drain must be limited to as little as possible. Today we are seeing a dramatic and determined attempt by the system, to take back everything we have won over the last hundred years or so. Increases in unsociable working hours, zero hours contracts, dramatic drop in living conditions, slashing of social benefits, and services, and a massive wages depression. These are just some of the fronts where their attack is gaining ground.

     It is sad to think that, what conditions we won by hardship, imprisonment and in some case death, are now being taken back by stealth and propaganda. It is also futile to expect that the political system in place at the moment, will do anything about this plundering of our living standards. The only debate among the political classes is by how much will we be plundered, at what rate will we be plundered, and how far can they go down this road. None of them come up with an alternative, it is austerity rapid, or austerity slow, austerity permanent, or austerity temporarily, only to be administered to our class of course. 

      Meanwhile the country gets richer and richer, the parasite class and their political puppets move into ever more splendour and grandeur, they wallow in luxury that you and I can only imagine. You would need to be an idiot to expect them to start to reverses this pattern of their own accord. If we continue trying to wrest more crumbs from from our masters table, the pattern will just keep repeating itself, we will grab a crust here, perhaps a wee cake there, and then they'll get round to sweeping it all up again. We create all the wealth of this country, by right, it is ours to distribute as we see fit. Isn't time we got round to doing just that?

IMF, CREATING A REVOLUTIONARY SITUATION.

Those who are familiar with history, well Western history, will be looking at Greece and having visions of Germany after the first world war. What the winners in that imperialist war done to Germany in the form of reparations, as a punishment, drove the German people into a spiral of deprivation, creating a revolutionary situation in which the fascists took control, with a little help from their friends. What the winners in the world war of debt, in the shape of the IMF (International Mankind Fuckers) and the others in the financial cartel, are doing to Greece is just the same as reparations, and will drive the Greek people into a spiral of deprivation, with no likelihood of a reversal for at least a generation. All this to protect the debt mountain of the winners club in this insane game of grow the debt, namely Germany and France.

It will not stop there, Portugal, Italy and possible Spain are all in the firing line in an attempt to save the mountainous debt bubble from bursting and hurting those at the top. The people of country after country will be sacrificed by having their living standards slashed at the dictate of the International Mankind Fuckers, at all costs, the billionaires at the top of the festering heap must be saved. The financial system most survive, even if it means the people have to live in rabbit warrens or sewers.

You lot will have to tighten your belt.

We are lead to believe that this is the only game in town and we the people must take our medicine to save the system. This message is of course, pumped out by those very people who created the fantasy world of growth and debt, the very people who will make sure that they will not suffer for their greed and believe that we the people have a duty to suffer so as to save their arses. Why do we accept such shit? We don't need them, they need us. We make and distribute everything on this planet, they do nothing but live off our backs. They could of course be creating their own demise, simply by creating a revolutionary situation in each country in turn could see their selfish self centred greed driven ideology go up in smoke.
