France, Italy and Spain have been rocked by general strikes - as well as massive youth protests there and in many other places across Europe. The obvious questions are when will it happen in the UK and why hasn’t it happened already?
Revolt is growing in Europe - and workers are showing their power as millions are punished by rising rents, rising prices and the lack of a future. Meanwhile politicians are hell-bent on stoking a war-drive and nationalism whilst cutting welfare.
And all this has come after dockers across the Mediterranean struck recently against arms sales to Israel and the European drive for rearmament. The call for the day of action came from dockers in Italy, France, Greece, Turkey, Morocco and the Basque Country in the Spanish state. But it was taken up by workers in the US, Australia, India and elsewhere.
Karl Marx's claim that the working class has the power to change the world is perhaps his most important contribution to socialist theory. Before Marx workers were viewed at best as victims of the system or more typically as a rabble whose existence threatened civilisation.
Marx challenged these assumptions, arguing that workers' collective struggles for freedom pointed towards a potential socialist alternative to capitalism.
All welcome.
