The Enemy
This Egyptian state we are fighting to bring down is the product of five thousand years of accumulated experiences of repression, provocation, exploitation, murder, corruption and theft. Those who run this state know every trick in the book.
This massacre that took place in Port Said tonight is only one scene in this ongoing play conducted, directed and executed by SCAF, our present day Pharaohs.
Strikes: The common denominator
Although the current strike wave is still largely spontaneous without organized leadership, the common denominator between all the industrial actions remain:
1- Ridding the workplace from the corrupt managers, who are in most of the cases personnel affiliated with the Mubarak’s regime and its neoliberal program.
2- Job security. Most of the Egyptian workers spend years in the workplace without contracts, though social security and taxes are still deducted from their monthly salaries or daily wages.
