Le capitalisme est souvent simplement décrit comme un mode de production basé sur l’achat de la force de travail dans le but de l’utiliser pour produire des biens afin de tirer un profit du travail effectué. Par exemple, dans nos sociétés, les entreprises tirent des profits, qui sont en fait la différence entre le prix de revente des biens produits et le coût du travail, des matières premières et des frais reliés à l'usure de la machinerie mis en œuvre pour les produire.

Ici comme ailleurs, on a raison de se révolter!
Les banques et les grandes entreprises sortent gagnantes de la crise économique et continuent de générer des profits records! Mais il en va autrement pour la majorité de la population. En plus d’avoir injecté des centaines de milliards de dollars de fonds publics pour « sauver » le système financier, cette crise sert de prétexte aux grandes entreprises pour faire des mises à pied massives et aux gouvernements du monde entier pour couper les services à la population comme en santé et en éducation.
The banks and big corporations have emerged from the economic crisis as winners. They continue to amass record profits! But, for the majority of the population, things are going differently. The crisis not only funnelled hundreds of billions of dollars of public money into "saving" the financial system, it served as a pretext for big businesses to carry out massive lay-offs and for governments world-wide to cut social services such as education and health.
Capitalism only serves a handful of individuals. There have been endless corruption scandals and thefts of public funds. There have been tax cuts for the rich ... followed by cut-backs imposed on us. The greed of the rich is matched only by the enormous bonuses they lavish on themselves. It's ridiculous!
Immigrants, the unemployed, people on social assistance, single mothers and the elderly are cruelly affected by the crisis of capitalism. But the so-called "middle" class is now also directly affected and the situation is only going to get worse: higher costs of living, lower salaries, reduced social protections, privatization, health care user-fees and more.
We all contribute to the production of wealth. There is no valid reason for not sharing it fairly. There is absolutely no reason why this wealth should be stolen by a handful of billionaires, whether they be business leaders, war-lords, oil kings or dictators! Let's follow the example of the angry people of Tunisia, Egypt and Greece. Here, just like there, against capitalism, against all forms of oppression, for a better life, we have every reason to rise up!
Let's rise up in the streets of Montreal on May 1st, International Workers' Day. Bring your flags and your scarves. Let's hit the streets!

G20 countries account for almost 2/3 of the global population, but there is an enormous difference in living standards between the rich and the poor nations.
Over the last decade, an estimated 180 million people (almost 3% of the world’s population) have been forced into migration, and are living outside of their birth country.
Migration is caused by capitalist disaster; political conflict and war; ecological destruction; poverty; and ethnic, religious and gender persecution.

Grand moment dans l’histoire du Canada. Du 25 au 27 juin, à Toronto, se réuniront les grands phallus de ce monde (bon, il y a bien un ou deux vagins dans le tas, mais certes pas une majorité) dans le cadre d’un Sommet du G20, ce caucus des pays les plus riches qui se sont autoproclamés les bienfaiteurs de ce monde. Au-delà du fait que personne ne les ait choisis pour s’occuper, seuls, du sort du monde, le G20 n’a aucune légitimité politique.
