"Mr President, those who prematurely wrote off the Arab Spring as having turned into an Arab winter have been proved wrong by the massive protests that met President Morsi’s attempts to grab greater powers for himself. His actions obviously bring back haunting memories of Mubarak, but the tremendous response of workers and young people show that their massive power and capacity for mobilisation has not gone away.
The situation is clearly critical. Attacks on democratic workers, women and trade union rights are mounting. It is only through mass movement and organisation from below that the gains won so far can be defended and the revolutionary process can be pushed forward to meet people’s aspirations for an end to poverty, homelessness and illiteracy, to achieve free education and healthcare, for pensions, for jobs and decent wages.
These fundamental rights will not be conceded by capitalist politicians from the Muslim Brotherhood, by liberal oppositionists or from the top of the army. They all have a vested interest in preserving the economic system and defending a constitution that bases itself on the principles of private property. A fundamental struggle for democratic socialist change is necessary."@en1
