Socialist Equality Party and World Socialist Web Site Meeting

A public discussion on the crisis in the auto industry

 

The Socialist Equality Party and the World Socialist Web Site are sponsoring a public discussion on a new fighting strategy for the working class—to defend jobs and benefits, oppose wage cuts and other concessions, fight foreclosures, and maintain funding for education and vital social services. We invite all auto workers and workers throughout the Detroit area to attend this crucial meeting. This discussion will examine a genuinely democratic and socialist response to the capitalist crisis. 

Among the issues we propose to discuss are: the nationalization of the auto companies and the major banks; the establishment of democratic and public control over the economy; an international strategy for the working class; and the building of a political party, independent of the Democrats and Republicans, that can fight for these measures.

Sat., Dec. 20, 2:00 pm
