Pyramid of capitalist society

Design by prole.info, inspired by an old I.W.W. drawing, this poster is a portrayal of class society as it appears to us today. The whirlwind of market forces encircle and shape society, operating through our activity, yet behind our backs. People at different levels of the modern capitalist pyramid enjoy it or defend it or cope with it or fight it or get drunk to forget about their place in it.  

A1 size, £4 plus p&p.

The original drawing appeared in 1911 the Industrial Worker, the newspaper of the Industrial Workers of the World. The inscriptions on the pyramid are : We rule you - we fool you - we shoot at you - we eat for you  - we feed all- we work for all.

STOP THE CUTS!

SUPPORT THE STRIKES!

On November 30, workers from across the education and public sectors will be taking strike action to defend their pensions and fight off redundancies. We all need to support that strike.

Government cuts are attacking all of us. Each time a group of workers gets their pension slashed or receives a below inflation rise, it only emboldens other employers to do the same. Public or private, in a union or not, we can only beat the bosses' onslaught by standing together.

Students to Sparks: Join Us!

We’ve seen cuts to education, leading to the destruction of EMA, tripled uni fees, mass redundancies and course closures. We’re now witnessing – if we fail to stand up and beat it – the virtual privatisation of education. But the government’s austerity measures are not just attacking education – pensioners, the unemployed, workers in all industries in both public and private sector are all facing massive cuts – leaving no-one spared!

Demonstration over City Council cuts at Liverpool Town Hall

Last night, Liverpool Solidarity Federation members were amongst protesters gathered outside Liverpool Town Hall. They demonstrated as Liverpool City Council held a Budget Question Time in order to seek views on how they could save £50m in the coming year. Whilst the audience inside gave the councilors a hard time, those outside disrupted traffic by blocking off a road.

Read Liverpool members' individual reflections on the day on the Truth, Reason & Liberty and Working Class Self-Organisation blogs.

Catalyst #28 out now

Catalyst #28 is out now, read it online here.

In this issue: 

With friends like these, who needs enemies? To beat the cuts, workers need to act independently of the trade union laws... and it's already happening.

Dispatches from the frontlines: Three London education workers speak about cuts, organising and casualisation in the sector.

Victory for the cleaners: unofficial action by Senate House and Guildhall cleaners gets results in London.

Sparks fly: electricians direct action over pay cuts.

Plus: your basic rights at work, pensions, NHS privatisation, letters, international round up and much more.
