The Re-opening of the economy has been talked for a long time since the quarantine began by the imperialist bourgeoisie, and the white supremacists. Because they knew out of the quarantine having people stay at home to hope to stop the spread of the disease, would destroy their profits. So, Capitalists after so much advocating for “re-opening the economy”, and “we don’t want another great depression” finally got the upper hand, even knowing that this would increase the infection rate on workers. But they did not care because it interfered in their profits. They do not care about the lives of the workers, in their mind, money is more important than a human’s life.
Now the economy is re-opened when COVID-19 is not even near of being under control in most of the states. The workers are now forced to go back to work at a high risk of contagion, or else being fired, with an additional element. There are over 47 million unemployed since the pandemic outbreak, 1.5 million last week, despite the economy being re-opened. This means that despite going back to production, the workers didn’t get their jobs back. It is an attack of dismissals and lower wages and benefits and blackmailing the workers to make them work at any cost by the capitalists, under the threat of the unemployment abyss.
The fact that capitalists would put their profits more than the lives of the workers and that not even the wealthiest country on Earth can guarantee the right to work for the worker is proof enough that capitalism must be abolished.
You workers do not have to stand for this, and we can take control of our own production, overthrowing capitalism, taking the struggle that has started on the streets to victory.
Expropriate Wall Street! Down with Trump and the Republicrats regime! Open the road for the power of the working class!
