This is the initial statement of NWBCW Tyne & Wear, in which the ACN isinvolved. ---- Across the world working class people are beingslaughtered, from endless battles in the Ukraine, to mass murder inIsrael, to ethnic cleansing in Gaza. The USA and EU are making onemilitary bloc, and China, Russia and Iran are moving to make another. Asthe working class becomes increasingly impoverished and many of us cannow barely afford to eat or heat our homes - and as environmentaldisaster approaches ever-closer on the horizon - the future looks bleak. The answer cannot be support for cross-class alliances in the mistakenbelief that national liberation equals self-determination and aprogressive step forward. Capitalism has been in a continuing deepcrisis for decades now, and as capitalists find it harder and harder tomake profits, they are left with fewer options to kickstart a new cycleof boom and bust. The last time this happened, the Depression of the1930s, led to the Second World War. What is happening now in Ukraine andGaza is what capitalism has in store for all of us unless we can stop it.The best way to halt capitalism's drive to war internationally is forworkers to break the "social peace" at home. That is why we have cometogether to say No War But the Class War. We must use whatever means areavailable to us where we possess the greatest strength - at work and inour communities. From simple day-to-day acts - such as sharinginformation to challenge the dominant narrative - to strikes,occupations and refusals to serve in the military. The working class'stwo main weapons are class consciousness and our ability to organize ona mass scale. We cannot allow ourselves to be pitted against each otherto our loss and for the benefit of rulers and the rich.Working class people are already saying no: in July, thousands ofordinary Palestinians were protesting Hamas and its corruption in Gaza,just as ordinary Israelis have been refusing the call up to serve in theIDF. Groups in Ukraine and in Russia have been documenting the refusalsto fight from working class conscripts on both sides of the conflict.There are people and groups saying No War But the Class War all over theworld including Liverpool, Glasgow, Paris, Rome, Turkey, South Korea,Australia, the US and Canada.As the vast majority in society, we have it in our power to create a newworld without states, without the profit system, where we can be warm,feel valued and be healthy, where we can control our own lives.Get in touch:NWBCWTyneandWear@proton.metwitter.com/NWBCWTyne_WearNO WAR BUT THE CLASS WARhttps://anarcomuk.uk/2023/10/27/no-war-but-the-class-war-tyne-wear/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
