Nobody needs to be told that we are in the middle of a global economic
crisis of vast proportions. We are facing a global recession.
The neoliberal ideology that has dominated for so long is in tatters
as free market warriors carry out the biggest nationalisations in history.
For millions of people the downward spirals on the stock exchange
will play out in low wages, job losses and house repossessions.

The crisis can seem to be so big that there is no way to fight back.
But this simply isn't true. Even in the midst of the Great Depression
working people fought back. During the long recession that hit the UK in
the 1980s there was resistance - the steel workers, miners and dockers
all fought.
