This does not mean chaos and disorder, these are what capitalism and governments bring us now. We are fighting for a form of social organisation in which nobody is in a position to oppress anyone else, in which all the means to achieve maximum material and intellectual development are available to everyone - equally. Before such a society can be realised the means of production and distribution must be under the direct democratic control of the workers and geared towards the needs of society - not the profit of the few. Present day society is capitalist society, it is driven by the ruthless desire for profit for the few at the top, the IMF, World Bank and the WTO are capitalist organisations, instruments of the capitalists not capitalism itself. It is capitalism itself which is rotten to the core and which we as workers, as Anarcho-Syndicalists are seeking to abolish.
Capitalism is a global system which subordinates human and environmental existence to money making.
It is the exploitation of workers and of the planet by bosses in order to further fatten themselves on profits while in the north we face massive reductions in Welfare spending, the creation of a more 'flexible' labour market, tougher restrictions on claiming state benefit and increased job insecurity, - in effect the building of a low wage economy. Job losses at Harland and Wolff and the decimation of the local textile industry, with the untold damage and suffering that causes working class communities are both directly linked to the neo-liberal policies which the IMF and the World Bank impose. Policies which are responsible for Third World debt, economic devastation in eastern Europe and attacks on workers in Western countries. The impact on the environment of World Bank and IMF projects has been devastating, destroying many local eco-systerms and resulting in the enforced relocation of millions of people. Organisations such as the World Bank, IMF, World Trade Organisation are instruments of capitalism, calling for them to be reformed or modified to make then less distasteful, more green, more 'accountable' or whatever is a waste of time.
