On Wed., Dec. 10, 2008, a demonstration at the Bank of America (BOA) was held in downtown Baltimore, MD. It was led by activists from the All Peoples Congress, among other groups, [including the Baltimore IWW, the International Socialist Organization, and members of the newly formed Baltimore Economic Crisis Response Network -ed] . The purpose of the protest was to show solidarity with the 200 Sit-In Republic Windows and Door Workers of Chicago, Il, whose plant has been shut down. The BOA canceled the companys financing. Its action left the workers without any severance and vacation pay. Critics are insisting that the BOA should use some of the billions of dollars it received in a recent federal-taxpayers-funded bailout to help the workers. The BOA, in turn, blames the company for this situation. For background, see:

Going on right now - baltimore stands up in solidarity with the republic workers, occupying their factory after being illegally laid off without severance pay, due to bank of america's refusal to extend credit to republic - even after they received millions of dollars of taxpayer money to bail them out in order to "save the economy"

The financial market crisis has long spilled over on the real economy. Therefore politics is called to do everything so the economy starts up again and unemployment is prevented. Without strong pressure, frauds will continue unchanged in the global financial casino.

Third day and forth night of the revolt in Greece: Thousands on the streets, classes with the police, funeral of Alexis, police opens fire again, right-wing thugs and neo-nazis helping the cops.

El gobierno de Bush llegará a su fin, y el obispo Fernando Lugo, Lula Da Silva, Michelle Bachelet, el español Rodríguez Zapatero, Tabaré Vazquez y otros héroes de la “izquierda” podrán disfrutar haber posado para la posteridad con George W. Bush.

Is this the kind of union you want to represent you?

The capitalist system does not make a mistake; it is the mistake. Capitalism is the problem. the solution would be an independent=socialist social order whose highest principles are mutual aid, respect for nature and a nonviolent rule-free humanly just world.
