<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-family:ArialMS;color:rgb(80, 0, 80)" lang="EN-US">In October 2008 the
ruling class
condemned us to a generation of debt slavery by stealing billions of
pounds of
so-called “public” money to bail-out the collapsing banks. The public
finances were robbed in what many are now beginning to realise was the
greatest
bank job in history. Covering up this crises is being paid for by a new
age of
austerity that means people are facing increasing economic oppression
such as
unemployment and massive cuts to public services. As corporate elites
struggle
to maintain their system of endless growth, they are becoming evermore
ruthless
in exploiting the earth and its people in pursuit of short term profit,
condemning us to immanent ecological catastrophe. And all this has been
built
with wealth they have been stealing from us in the first place! </span></p>

catastrophe for life on
earth. Climate change, the bio-crisis and the energy, food and water
crises are
some of the many symptoms of the inherent contradictions of this global
system
of exploitation. Predatory economics has no future, and will bring down
life on
earth in order to maintain its domination and social control. People are
fighting back and finding ways out of this crisis and there is still a
remote
chance that human life on earth could have a future but this is fast
running
out. It is only by confronting this catastrophe that we can envisage any
meaningful possibility for social transformation. Action must be swift
to
initiate this ecological revolution that transforms how we relate to
each other
and the earth itself. The only way to ensure survival is by building
community
resilience, in part through acts of solidarity to resist the banks and
the
fossil fuel industries. We invite you to become part of this radical
social
transformation, to reclaim all of what is rightly ours, most importantly
that
very ability to dream of a future. </span></p>
