We should not return to the type of society that enabled this pandemic to emerge and spread. We must instead create a new socially just and sustainable world. We, working people, can shut the system down and we have the numbers to break the power of capitalist class and their State. We should send a clear signal that things cannot and must not return to normal. We must transform our broken and inequitable society, and build a new society run by and for us – the working class majority. We seek a world safe not for profit-making, but for people.
Capitalists maximise profits. Capitalism has proved extremely inefficient in its response to the virus. Why return to such a normal? Why fix capitalism yet again, given its cyclical crashes and costly requirement to keep fixing it? Absurd, isn’ it? The problem is the structure of capitalism and not the particular management team running the capitalist enterprise. Capitalists either cannot or will not hire because to do so is not profitable for them. Why reproduce capitalism that so undemocratically organizes its businesses. Why replace one group of employer dictators with another, when a better alternative exists? Why revert back to a profit system that generates social divisions and inequality, which is regularly unstable?
