How to beat the 1%

One year ago, Occupy Wall Street burst into the public consciousness. Similar actions had been tried just months earlier, but failed to take root. Up until its second week, OWS itself seemed to be yet another localized action that would fail to make a real splash. But when images of the NYPD’s netting and pepper spraying of a number of Occupy protesters found their way onto televisions and Facebook feeds across the country, the “straw broke the camel’s back.” The occupation of Zuccotti Park showed millions of Americans that they were not alone in their frustration at the stagnation and decay of the country’s economy, political setup, and society generally.

“Occupy” as a tactic was inspired in large part by the Egyptian Revolution, which unfolded live on televisions worldwide in the form of the occupation of Tahrir Square. Tens of thousands in Wisconsin had used a similar tactic when they occupied the state capitol to protest Governor Walker’s anti-union laws. However, despite the symbolic significance of the mass concentration in Tahrir Square, this wasn’t enough to bring down Mubarak. Just as the movement was about to run out of gas, when it seemed Mubarak might be able to eke out a victory and wear out the movement, the Egyptian working class decisively entered the scene of history. It was the strikes of the Egyptian workers, in particular those at the Mahalla textile mills and the Suez Canal that were the decisive blows, forcing the military to remove Mubarak or face the prospect of losing control of the situation altogether.

In Wisconsin, no strikes were organized, and the mass movement was derailed into a demoralizing and demobilizing recall election that failed to inspire and failed to kick out Walker. In New York, and in the hundreds of cities where occupations spontaneously sprung up, the labor leaders likewise did far too little to actually lead the movement to victory. The steam eventually ran out. Repression, cold weather, infighting and tiredness took their toll, and today, Occupy continues mostly in name only, or in small, atomized “affinity groups.” Whether or not the anniversary of Occupy will lead to a renewed wave of occupations remains to be seen. We certainly hope it will. However, what is needed is a strategy to actually win. How can movements like Occupy actually bring about the change the majority so urgently needs?

The key is the role of the working class. While protests against the status quo can raise awareness, they cannot in and of themselves bring about fundamental change. The working class is in a unique position to do this. Due to its relationship to the key levers of the economy, the working class has the capacity to actually bring capitalist society to a halt. After all, whether in Egypt or in the USA, not a wheel turns, not a light shines, and not a single product is made without the bones, brains, nerves, and muscles of the workers! The Fortune 500 CEOs and boards of directors are utterly incapable of running society without the workers. But we can run society just fine with out them. This is the real meaning of the “1%” vs. the “99%.” It is a recognition that while a handful of parasites currently run society in their interests, the majority have the capacity to run things differently.

There was an important collaboration between the labor movement and Occupy, especially in NYC and in the Bay Area. From offering office and storage space, to paying for the publication of the OWS newspaper, organized labor lent essential support to the movement. However, this alone was never going to be enough to stop business as usual. There are hundreds of thousands of organized workers in NYC. Just imagine if the labor leaders had called a general strike and an all-out occupation of lower Manhattan by New York’s powerful working class. Without transportation, telecommunications, electricity, hotel, restaurant, and janitorial services, etc., the Wall Street “banksters” would be left suspended in mid-air. This would have sent shock waves throughout the country, and would have been enthusiastically supported by millions.

After decades of attacks, the labor movement is like an army ready and willing to fight, but receiving no orders to do so from the leadership. There has been a political and organizational void when it comes to organizing a fightback against the austerity being imposed by Democrats and Republicans alike. It is therefore no wonder that a “spark” such as OWS attracted the attention of millions and transformed the national political dialogue. It had an electrifying effect on the rank and file of the labor movement, who would have eagerly mobilized to show their real power and support those braving the cold and police in Zuccotti Park.

But even a mass occupation and the shutting down of Wall Street would not suffice. The labor movement also requires bold leadership,  greater organization, majority-rule direct democracy, a political program, and perspectives for changing society for the better. To coordinate all of this on a national scale we need a political party with elected officials that will truly fight in our interests. We need a labor party, under the direct and democratic control of the membership, accountable only to the unions and the working class majority, not Wall Street. Armed with a socialist program, such a party would rapidly transform the American political landscape and decisively defeat the 1%.

WATCH ECONOMIST FRED GOLDSTEIN ABOUT THE EUROPEAN STAGE OF THE CAPITALIST CRISIS




EUROPE IS AT THE EDGE OF AN OBJECTIVE REVOLUTIONARY SITUATION

THE VENEZUELAN GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATES THE CORRUPTION IN STATE-OWNED SUPERMARKETS




http://venezuelanalysis.com/news/5422


Mérida, June 11th 2010 (Venezuelanalysis.com) – The Venezuelan Attorney General’s Office arrested the general manager and executive director of operations of the state-owned PDVAL food company for their alleged involvement in a food hoarding scandal. Meanwhile, workers marched throughout the week to show their support for the company, which continues to distribute 1,000 tons of food per day at regulated prices.

Attorney General Luisa Ortega said the four investigators who were assigned to the case arrested PDVAL General Manager Ronald Flores and Executive Director of Operations Vileska Betancourt on charges of food hoarding and criminal negligence, which violate the Law for the Defense of People’s Access to Goods and Services and the Law on Corruption.

The investigators searched PDVAL’s headquarters, interrogated President Virginia Mares and other company officials, and obtained arrest warrants for two more company officials this week, Ortega said.

“The investigation continues. New subpoenas, interrogations, searches, and arrest warrants are not out of the picture. This is a meticulous investigation and it is just getting started,” Ortega said in a press conference on Thursday.

Towards the end of May, authorities from the national intelligence agency SEBIN found a total of 2,334 containers of expired food in storage facilities that contracted with PDVAL in the states of Carabobo and Cojedes. On June 3rd, SEBIN officers arrested the former president of the company, Luis Pulido, on charges of food hoarding.

While the investigation is being carried out, Ortega called on company employees and everyday citizens to report to the Attorney General’s Office any irregularities they detect in PDVAL.

One such citizen named Heartfriend Peña told the Venezuelan alternative news agency Aporrea on Thursday that he was fired from his job at the state-owned Vexima company after he reported the existence of 414 containers of unaccounted food in PDVAL storage facilities.

Vexima provides export, import, storage, and distribution services to PDVAL and other state-owned food companies. The company told Peña he was fired for abandoning his post, but Peña said he was on leave and protected by the Social Security law.

According to Peña, his firing was an act of “political retaliation” by corrupt company officials who represent the right wing, profit-seeking mafia within the state-owned food sector. Aporrea channeled his message to President Hugo Chavez, who has repeatedly declared himself in favor of workers in struggles against the management of both privately and publicly owned companies:

“Mr. President, I continue being Chavista [a Chavez supporter], but this situation that occurred here should be investigated in depth. Even though I won’t be working here I would like the company to be investigated. The management took this initiative against me for having made an accusation, and that means that they have their hands immersed in the case,” Peña pleaded.

Throughout the past week, thousands of workers from PDVAL and Venezuela’s state oil company, PDVSA, which administers PDVAL, held marches in various cities to express their support for government programs that guarantee access to affordable food.

“PDVSA workers are with the revolution and with Chavez and we will continue moving forward. Things must be put in context. The issue at hand is joining with the people to combat the oligarchy that is in the large industrial sectors of the country,” said Energy and Petroleum Minister Rafael Ramirez during a march with 8,000 oil industry workers.

Henrique Salas Romer, the governor of Carabobo state and a leader of the anti-Chavez opposition, said the PDVAL scandal is a sign of the incompetence of the Chavez government.

“While food rots in a PDVAL storage facility, the national government directs its actions toward looking for a guilty party, when it is the guilty party,” said Salas Romer in public comments. “It is unacceptable that so many tons of essential products are lost when housewives cannot find them in the markets and the prices soar,” he said.

National Assembly Deputy Lisandro Cabello said such critiques coming from the right-wing opposition are hypocritical, because the opposition in team with the nation’s largest private business chamber, Fedecamaras, led a coup d’état in 2002 and a general strike in 2003 that shut down the country’s oil industry and caused massive unemployment, economic contraction, and extreme scarcity of foods and other products.

“Here people had to eat dog food because of Fedecamaras and Consecomercio [National Council of Commerce] and now they want to appear like gentle doves against PDVAL,” said Cabello.

In public comments this week, Minister for Education Hector Navarro said the government “has made a political decision to transform PDVAL’s whole chain of production, from the initial production of foods to the sale to the consumer,” in an effort to eradicate corruption.

“Corruption is an issue of capitalism, bringing these yearnings that induce the human being to be seeking quick profit without moral or ethical restraints,” said Navarro.

PDVAL, which stands for Venezuelan Food Production and Distribution, was founded in 2008 to combat food price inflation at a time when import-dependent Venezuela was suffering from skyrocketing international food prices caused in part by the rise of the transnational biofuels industry.

The company currently distributes essential food such as rice, milk, beans, chicken, flour, and cooking oil at regulated prices in 94 large markets and 2,117 “PDVALitos,” or small, local stores managed in conjunction with communal councils. The company manages a line of 759 transport vehicles, has a workforce of 4,700, and distributes 30,000 tons of food per month
