Socialist Appeal
The Marxist voice of Labour and youth
A second wave of COVID-19 is ravaging Europe. This was not inevitable, but a deadly consequence of governments prioritising the wealth of the capitalists over the health of the population. Make the bosses pay to protect lives and livelihoods!
EU leaders have come to an agreement on a new rescue package for the ailing trading bloc. But this is a sign of mutual weakness, not solidarity; and the working class will be asked to foot the bill. Crisis and chaos continue to loom.
The coronavirus crisis has brought the national tensions within the European Union to the fore, leading to a sharp conflict between the northern and southern European member states over spending. The European project is facing its demise.
The coronavirus crisis in Italy has brought out the real nature of the capitalist system, where profit is being placed before lives. The working class is reacting with militant strike action. What lessons can be drawn from this experience?
Europe faces its greatest crisis since WWII as borders close across the region. The coming slump will exacerbate national tensions. We are witnessing a new phase in the unravelling of the union. Fight for a Socialist United States of Europe!
