Class war is now raging across the world. And finally, here in the US the workers are finally fighting back against the determined efforts of capitalist attack dogs. Encouraged by the passivity of the people following the bailout of the banks, the obscene bonuses taken by banksters, the cutbacks of public services, continued serious unemployment with dim prospects for improvement, the right-wing has launched its attack on unions. This battle in Wisconsin may be pivotal. If they can win there, it will be a major setback for working people in the US, one which they may not recover from.
...the Kochs are determined to make Wisconsin a laboratory of corporate oligarchy. Nationwide, the war on public workers -- and government in general -- is not simply a facet of an ideological notion about the virtues of small government. The war on government is a war against the labor movement, which has much higher rates of union membership in the public sector than it does in the private sector.
Labor is seen by corporate leaders as the last strong line of resistance against the wholesale takeover of government (and your tax dollars) by corporations. So, by this line of thought, labor must die.
