As a new wave of the pandemic sweeps across Europe, governments are enforcing measures to slow the spread of the virus. But the ruling class and its representatives cannot be trusted with our lives. We need to put workers in control.
The refugee crisis is growing day-by-day. The victims of imperialism are being trapped on the Belarusian border or drowned in the English Channel. Reactionary politicians in the UK and EU are throwing up barriers. We say: bring down the borders!
Workers at the GKN plant in Florence have waged a militant battle to defend their jobs, occupying the factory and organising mass action. Their bold struggle provides inspiration and valuable lessons for fighting GKN workers in Britain.
COVID chaos reigns across Europe, with vaccine protectionism and scepticism on the rise. Tensions between the EU and UK are heightening. But as these rival imperialist powers spar, it is the working class who are suffering the consequences.
With vaccine production left to Big Pharma, supply shortages have led to tensions across Europe. A clash between the UK, EU, and AstraZeneca has heightened fears of 'vaccine protectionism'. We need socialist planning.
