Industrial Workers of the World

Been staring into my tea cup reading the leaves therein and here we go: here we go HERE WE GO !

possible scenario uno: European General Strike is coming (East and West, North & South) and is the key that fits the lock to freedom (from wage-slavery-Capitalism) Greece, France, Italy, Spain, Iceland, Ukraine, Latvia are restless awaiting proles in Germany, Sweden, Norway, Czechs & Serbia etc to look beyond their national borders, craft or industry, political and religious cultures used to divide and rule them as Nationalism. Instead to organise international working class solidarity.

The diaspora of Europeans around the world (all once were economic refugees) have no choice but to consider what they are going to do too ? In economically depressed America - like Europe - is about to thaw into a hot Spring of class warfare..resist evictions, occupy shut down worksites kick start direct democracy and maybe even bring the troops home from Iraq etc.

Ozfailure Capitalists escalate layoffs ie go on Capital strike and after tax-payers $ run out then wage cuts, 3 & 4 day weeks etc will transform the suburban mortgage debt wastelands into gardens and communities OR chronic ecological crisis become acute by this time next year with longer heat wave in Southern Australia massive Katrina-whacked New Orleans style misery.

Species extinction, massive deaths of birds and animals, plagues of locusts, mosquitoes all very "Biblical" out of balance stuff. Localised revolts can and should take over as cooperatives all those "unemployed" & sites the capos and fires/droughts/floods write off as unprofitable. The indigenous communities will lead by example on this. Local, State and Federal Government "major projects" are defunded as overseas Capital also goes on strike eg Gunns Paper mill doe snot go ahead as more banks go bust despite bail out ... time to throw the exploiters overboard is coming

Other scenario: Fear grips the masses, media controls the blame pattern and return of bigotry ye olde pogroms of undocumented & foreigners, Jews, Gypsies, Chinese, Indians... scapegoat varies on region of the planet eg Chinese in Indonesia, Indians in Fiji, Romany/Gypsies in Italy, "foreigners" in Russia etc.

a cross roads looms and some of the faster walkers are already on one road or the other awaiting what everyone else will do. The road you walk you will also have to make so those you walk with are best to be practical, carry a song of joy in their hearts and make the journey worthwhile.

Oh well better wash the cups and get on with the day.
