Although many of the participants in the anti-capitalist movement don't know it, much of their activity takes its inspiration from the autonomist movement, which began in Italy in the 1970's. Autonomism is essentially a philosophy of despair. It has abandoned the working class as the one collective producer class, which has the potential to rebuild the world anew. It has abandoned communism, which is the only alternative to capitalism. The entire capitalist world system stands on the brink of a new recession, which is being felt by workers in fresh redundancies.
Capitalism is a daily purveyor of misery and death.
Since 1945, more than 50 millions have died in wars alone, and this excludes the millions who have died in famines and preventable disasters. Mexico is one example. Two millions Iraqis have died in the last decade due to the sanctions imposed by US imperialism to safeguard its oil interests. Death and devastation rages in Palestine and in the Balkans, all in the interests of imperialism. All these crimes result from capitalism itself and express its true nature.
