Original article, by Jutta Schmitt - University of Los Andes (ULA) senior lecturer in political sciences, via In Defence of Marxism:
Alan Woods held a meeting with workers and students last night (November 19) in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of The Andes in Merida (Venezuela), to talk about the systemic crisis of capitalism on a world wide scale.
Alan Woods is one of the leaders of the International Marxist Tendency. He's been a major player in Marxist circles in England for decades. He also happens to be right about this major point.
It can't be stressed enough: "No light bulb will shine, no wheel will move, without the kind permission of the workers of this world."
When the oligarchs put their welfare above the masses, WE need to tell them "No light bulb will shine, no wheel will move, without the kind permission of the workers of this world."
When the bankster frauds continue to run the world into the ground, they need to hear "No light bulb will shine, no wheel will move, without the kind permission of the workers of this world."
When the US Congress and the President pay scant attention to the workers of the country, and I would argue that this is exactly what they are doing, they need to hear "No light bulb will shine, no wheel will move, without the kind permission of the workers of this world."
When the centrists put the welfare of the capitalists in front of the welfare of the many, they need to hear "No light bulb will shine, no wheel will move, without the kind permission of the workers of this world."
Whenever a boss decides that they are more important the the people that work for them, they need to hear "No light bulb will shine, no wheel will move, without the kind permission of the workers of this world."
Every time you decide to support the bad because it's practical and doable, to the harm of the many, you need to hear "No light bulb will shine, no wheel will move, without the kind permission of the workers of this world."
Indeed, it's time we all hear "No light bulb will shine, no wheel will move, without the kind permission of the workers of this world."
Put it in your hearts, let it be your mantra, always remember "No light bulb will shine, no wheel will move, without the kind permission of the workers of this world."
