The economic recession is now impacting the majority of people in most countries in the world. There is a growing sense of global solidarity among the people who see their governments spending billions of dollars to rescue the banks who are to blame for the crisis. With the visible success of protesters in Iceland and Latvia - who managed to topple their governments relatively nonviolently - the realm of possibility seems to be expanding.

It feels like the the time may be approaching for a global movement to take hold which intends to rethink capitalism and the systems of world governance. Instead of demanding the resignation of a Prime Minister, what if this global movement demanded the resignation of the whole system

Police are preparing to face a "summer of rage" in the UK as people join protests over the economic downturn, says a senior Met Police officer.

As the financial crisis has spurred a global economic recession the reality of the
situation is being faced by us all – price hikes and wage cuts, job losses, spiralling
debt and repossessions. The institutions of government and global finance are making us
pay for their mistakes, giving themselves hefty bonuses for the privilege. As big banks
get billions of our money to bail them out, the Post Office is threatened with
privatisation and mass redundancies to claw back the pension hole! Government and bosses,
while protecting their own interests, are steadily losing their grip as the anger of the
working class becomes more and more apparent after a decade of enforced 'social peace'.
