For the last twenty years international capital has been trying to roll back the post-war gains of the working class – privatising state-owned industry, reducing welfare provision, limiting trade union rights. While this assault has taken different forms in different countries, it has been an international attempt to make the working class pay to increase the profitability of capitalism and make each capitalism more competitive on the world stage. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and now the global fall on the stock markets, this attack is escalating. However, these attacks have met with resistance, from the Zapatistas of Chiapas in Mexico, the landless of Brazil, the revolts which saw the end of Suharto in Indonesia, mass protests by workers in South Korea against redundancies to strikes and demonstrations by European workers and students against the attacks on the welfare state contained in the convergence criteria for a European single currency. Come along and hear about this international resistance and how it can be forged into a movement which can offer an alternative.
