NOTÍCIAS DA GUERRA POPULAR: Re: [** MAOIST_REVOLUTION **] Revolting Students

Dear Maoist Revolution

I wish to express my complete solidarity with Harry's excellent
statement. There are clearly some courageous militants among the
students. I wish the same could be said of the trade union leaders!
As usual they are acting like complete class traitors and sell-outs!
Just like the careerist, middle class bastard that runs the NUS! This
is the institutional role of such people within the capitalist system
and this will not change. Let's unite with the unemployed, the
oppressed immigrants and radical rank and file elements in the
workplace to go all-out to smash captialism! If not now, then when?

Best Joseph

REVOLTING STUDENTS

The militant actions by students against the Coalition Government's
public spending cuts are showing the way forward. This massive assault
on our living standards will not be defeated by the old, established
and largely ineffective forms of protesting. We need to find new, bold
ways of really counterattacking the Government's assault on us.

COALITION CUTS

It is not only young people that the Government are targeting. They
are going for most vulnerable groups in society: unemployed, homeless,
disabled, sick and old. The aim is to make us pay for the folly of the
reckless and greedy bankers who created the financial crisis. The last
Labour Government bailed out bankrupt banks such as Royal Bank of
Scotland and LloydsTSB by borrowing vast amounts of money from other
banks. They used one lot of bankers to prop up another lot of bankers
and they are trying to make the rest of us pay the costs.

CLASS WAR

The ConDem Government led by Cameron and Clegg is acting in defence of
the interests of the ruling monopoly capitalist class. These are the
tiny minority of the population who own and control most of the economy
including financial institutions. Most of the leading members of the
Government are wealthy members of this class who went to elite public
schools such as Eton and St. Paul's. It is their friends and relations
in the City of London responsible for the financial crisis. It is
these people who should pay off the Government's debts and not the rest
of us.
UNITY IN ACTION

In order to halt and turn back the Government's attack on us there
needs to be a broad unity of action among those affected.
Students should unite with other people in the Government's sights,
especially workers in the public sector who face massive job losses.
Around the world, actions by students have often sparked off a wider
revolt against oppressive regimes. These include:

·                     The May 4th Movement against imperialism in China
in 1919.

·                     The French students in May 1968 whose
demonstrations encouraged millions of workers to occupy their
workplaces.

·                     The Greek students in 1973 who fought the Greek
army which led to the collapse of the military junta.

Already in countries such as France, Spain and Greece students have
joined with workers, migrants, old people etc. to fight back against
the Europe-wide cuts. Unite and fight!

WORKERS, STUDENTS AND OPPRESSED PEOPLE OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!
