The police assaults on protesters and organizers in Denver and elsewhere suggests a strategic lesson: If you are planning direct action, do ONLY that action and lay low at other times so you cannot be pre-empted

Major police assaults on mass marches, mass arrests at anticapitalist marches, a raid on the Converegence space.

Working democracy is the economic self-government of the workers. By definition it involves the workers in the management decision-making process as part of the daily activity of the workplace.

Working democracy cannot, therefore, be imposed on society by any political party or minority faction of the workers. It cannot be given to the workers by any benevolent dictator, or granted to them by any philanthropic elite. It can only come into existence by the creative, coordinated action of the workers themselves.

Who are the “workers”?
