Forward Birmingham?
The `colourful’ councillor and Birmingham’s squatters
Campaigners for more affordable homes in the group `Justice For Crisis’ (JfC) recently set up a ‘tent city’ on council land in Vardon Way site in the Pershore Road, Balsall Heath, area of Birmingham. Their demand was for more rented affordable homes in the city amidst criticism that the local Tory/Lib Dem council is wasting land by selling it to private developers to build and sell high price houses.
WHEN THEY PRIVATISED THE RAILWAYS, they said it was to improve them. It wasn’t. It was so that their capitalist friends could make loads more money. And they have.
WHEN THEY PRIVATISED GAS & ELECTRICITY, they said we would all benefit. We didn’t. Prices and profits went up and up, and still are going up. We were ripped off.
THEY SAID PRIVATISING WATER WOULD BENEFIT US. It didn’t. Now our water supplies are owned by foreign companies that make massive profits out of us.
TO JUSTIFY PRIVATISATION THEY TELL US LIES… but we’ve heard it all before.
The Global Financial Crisis: What’s it all about and how to respond?
The first thing to say is that we are not witnessing the death of capitalism. But it’s clear that the deregulated, free-market model has been widely discredited. Even so, it’s odd to find newspapers like the Times and the Daily Telegraph quoting Karl Marx and, apparently, quite a few stockbrokers have been popping out to Waterstone’s to pick up a copy of Das Kapital to give them a clue as to what on earth is going on.
The Telegraph even approvingly noted Marx’s observation that capitalism displays "uninterrupted disturbance of all social relations, everlasting uncertainty". But Marx also noted that the end result would be to force people to reassess their "relations with their fellow humans", in a word, people will have to act to end the inhumanity of economic anarchy.
