Turn the World Upside Down: From Occupation to Revolution By John Spritzler
If OWS decides explicitly that its goal is revolution, it would transform the OWS movement.

If OWS does this, then folding the… Continue reading

Libya: NATO Provides the Bombs; The French “Left” Provides the Ideology By Pierre Lévy
Last April, former Le Monde diplomatique director Ignacio Ramonet published (in Mémoire des Luttes) a text entitled “Libya, the Just and the Unjust.” The war had been started a few weeks earlier, inaugurated by French aircraft which had the honor of dropping the first bombs on Tripoli.

The Wolf Report: AWS
There’s nothing like a banker to bring out the best in somebody, and there’s nothing like an enclave of bankers, a virtual village of bankers to bring out the best in everybody. That best, of course, is the gut-hatred of the pin-headed, bb hearted, pin-striped class of bankers, who in both head and heart encapsulate… Continue reading

In the belly of the beast By William Bowles
In case you hadn’t noticed, especially if you get your news from the MSM, there is the mother of all capitalist crises unfolding around us. A crisis that appears to be far deeper even than the Crash of ’29 and given the global nature of corporate capitalism, nobody (except the rich) can escape its awful… Continue reading

Broken Britain: Broken record By Ann Czernik

The state unleashes the Dogs of Media By William Bowles
What a depressing state of affairs. The media, like some slavering pack of wolves, eager for blood has descended on our dispossessed and demonized them some more. It’s like something out of the worst of the Victorian period, where to be poor was literally regarded as a crime and treated as such. Continue reading

Media demand mass arrests, reprisals against UK rioters By Robert Stevens
The barest pretence of due process is taking place, as kangaroo courts issue ‘summary justice’ to satisfy the media and the police. The Evening Standard described how at Westminster magistrates’ court, one of the four sitting for 24 hours in the city, ‘Court papers were skim-read in 15 minutes before hearings’, while ‘defendants appeared in… Continue reading

A road made by walking: Oscar Reyes reports from Spain on an ‘indignant’ movement that continues to spread and diversify
The day of action is one landmark in what many predictions suggest could be a ‘hot’ autumn.
