Leaflets

The bold action of the #OccupyWallStreet protesters, inspired by the movements in Egypt, Greece, and Wisconsin, is capturing the imagination of millions of workers and youth around the world who are dissatisfied with the status quo. It shows that there exists in this country a layer of committed left-wing activists who are ready to challenge the injustices of capitalist society. Socialist Appeal has produced this new flyer for distribution at the #occupy protests, both on Wall Street and around the country.  You can download it here.

The burden of the capitalist crisis is being passed on to the working class and the youth through a near-universal assault on our quality of life. Both the federal government and almost all the states have been slashing their education budgets, further exacerbating the pressure on the youth. Access to education is increasingly impossible for the average working class family. The Workers International League and Socialist Appeal magazine believe young people deserve a better future than that which is possible under capitalism. Socialist Appeal has produced a new flyer including a program of struggle for youth.  You can download it here.

New flyer available from the Campaign for a Mass Party of Labor for distribution amongst Verizon workers during the strike.

Most public sector workers in the state belong to unions that collectively negotiate their wages, benefits, and pensions. It has been that way for over 60 years. Now Governor Walker wants to make Wisconsin a “right to work” state, make it illegal for state employees to bargain collectively, and limit wage increases to the consumer price index.  This new flyer from Socialist Appeal is for use in Wisconsin or elsewhere, where attacks on public sector workers are upcoming.

New leaflet produced by Socialist Appeal for use at events in solidarity with the Egyptian and Tunisian revolutions.  Print copies and distribute widely.  The heroic movement of the Tunisian and Egyptian masses has transformed the atmosphere in the Middle East. This is yet another example of the unstoppable power of the working class once it moves into action.

Michael Moore’s new film exposes capitalism for what it is: a system based on the ruthless exploitation of the many by the few, who shamelessly loot people’s lifelong savings, the public treasury, and kick millions out of their homes. By the end of the film, capitalism stands roundly condemned, however, Mike is less clear as to what he is actually for. The Workers International League thinks it is important to state what is: capitalism is the problem, and socialism is the solution.

The battle over health care has simmered beneath the surface for decades as literally millions have suffered illness and death in the richest country on earth for lack of basic medical care. Most union contract struggles in recent years have revolved around the question of heath benefits. 7 in 10 personal bankruptcies in recent years have been the result of astronomical medical expenses. Now that Obama has attempted even the most modest of reforms, all the pent up contradictions are bursting to surface. On the one hand is the hysteria against Obama’s “socialism,” on the other are millions
