Meanwhile, the collapse of communism may turn out to have been an essential contributor to the collapse of the world capitalist system:
The world capitalist economy is collapsing. The rightist pro-capitalist regimes that have been ruling these countries since the early 1990s are imposing severe cuts on the remaining social safety-net programs. As a result, workers are rising up in protest.
And workers are occupying factories in
Ukraine:
Workers have occupied an engineering plant in Ukraine demanding payment of owed wages, nationalisation of the plant, and production of socially useful machinery. Today at 9.30am more than 300 workers occupied the administrative building of Kherson Engineering Plant. The workers are demanding payment of wages, nationalization of the plant without compensation to its owner and have declared their intention to occupy the building until their demands are fulfilled in full.
Factory guards did not resist seriously, and no workers were hurt. A council of workers elected the previous day is in charge of the building.
