Socialist Appeal
The Marxist voice of Labour and youth
New government plans to shake up social care do nothing to tackle the root of the problem: privatisation and profit. And it is workers who are being made to foot the bill. We say: expropriate the capitalists and fight for public ownership!
This Saturday, campaigners in Liverpool will be protesting against plans to host the Electronic Arms Fair in the city. The local council is complicit in this scandal. The labour movement must mobilise to stop this display of destruction.
Tensions are rising in higher education, as university bosses – under pressure from competition and marketisation – look to use recorded lectures to undermine the job security and conditions of staff. Workers and students must fight back.
British bosses are panicking in the face of sharp labour shortages, with some even begging the government to allow the use of prisoners to fill vacancies. Only socialist planning can put an end to this anarchy and exploitation.
For all the talk of economic recovery, the truth is that there has been no real recovery for the working class. A new wave of austerity and inflation is set to erode living standards for the majority. We say: expropriate the billionaires!
