The capitalist world economy is in crisis. It's the end of a cycle where the capitalists have looted the pockets of working families, economies and are, at present, more difficult to continue the looting, increasing its rate of profit. Some wonder, what if we have won almost everything, we may steal more? Yes, it is possible. Because if there is some difficulty for bank accounts fatten the rich continue to enter the international financial scene, the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank, the Federal Reserve, etc.., Which constitute a true international band of thieves who manage the world economy to ensure that the rich continue to be, if anything, a little more. As European stock markets have been threatening the profits of major listed companies, central banks have injected billions of euros, directly from the public coffers, to curb the falling rate of profit of the multinationals. And to leave no doubt of the magnitude of armed robbery and plunder of the economies of the working classes take a look at the profits of major English companies in the past year:
- Banco Santander: 9,060 million of euros. Record benefits, 19% more than in 2006.
- Telefónica: 8.906 million euros. (45.2% over the previous year.
- Repsol YPF: 3.188 million euros.
- Endesa: 2,675 million euros. And those billions of euros come directly from the efforts of the working classes, and the plundering of the economies and raw materials of the peripheral capitalist countries. By contrast the economies of working families worse every month. We have to use the bulk of household income to pay a mortgage that no longer more expensive thanks to the whim of ECB and its forecasts of what the rich have to increase their profits. In 2008 pay $ 500 more on average in each mortgage. Bonuses no longer be used for a deal worked out or for a well deserved short vacation because the bank will be delivered on a silver platter. The average salary increase this year agreed in collective agreements stands at around 3.39%, well below the CPI (4.5 year) continue to lose wages 'purchasing power', which is customary in the past ten years, and number of unemployed continues to fatten, and stands near 2.5 million people desempleadas.Los capitalists are poised to seize not only the fruit of our work, but we will become true slaves capital, because there will be a glimmer of life beyond their predatory lust. Workers and popular struggles against the closure of enterprises or social wage improvements and should be the starting point of a working class offensive on all fronts. We must work to achieve short-term struggles in transforming the accumulated consciousness, organization and struggle against the capitalist system. It is therefore necessary to confront decisively with the union bureaucracy and create a current leader for the reconstruction of social class unionism. We have nothing to celebrate in this May 1 with those from the direction of trade unions work with the class that oppresses us to increase the exploitation and therefore benefits the rich. Our future depends on us and ourselves, our ability to fight. And when we struggle, it is due.
