Solidarity Around the World

Wonder why the GOP is so afraid of the words, “Class Warfare”? Could it be because the class in “working class” out number the rich class and this explains why the rich has always done its best to split the working class into two groups, one being those who vote against their own best interests and those who see through the efforts. This practice started in the 1600s when the rich used First Nations and African hostages against the white settlers to build this country. As new people came from around the world immigrated to this country, such as people from Poland, Ireland, Italy, Asia, and so on, the rich tried to get them to fight amongst each other. The smart workers, like the International Workers of the World (IWW), saw through this ploy and how well it was working for the rich. The answer to this practice was a single word, “Solidarity,” which became the battle cry of the IWW and other unions. Soon, the very rich started to devise plans to split the unions and get them fighting among themselves. The answer to this attack was to return to the call of “Solidarity.” The fight today is for the rich GOP to divide the 99 percent’s solidarity, and this is the battle line. If workers can come together and fight a class war, we will win because we have many more people and could even hold a general strike nationwide. But only if we have solidarity. This holds true for the working class all over the world. People in other countries have taken to the streets, France, Hong Kong, Venezuela, Sudan, Istanbul, Indonesia, Egypt, some parts of the U.S. like the GM workers and other countries who are willing to fight for what’s right. People left with nothing, have nothing left to lose. We shouldn’t have to beg for good jobs, healthcare, pensions, protecting the earth and climate, and together, we won’t have to, we believe in one world, “Solidarity.”
