When it comes to trade unions, however, the US occupation authorities have "found a law passed by Hussein that they like", Bacon said. Passed in 1987, it forbids workers in the state oil industry from organising a union. US officials continue to apply this law. *********************
In Iraq, we begin to see the neo-con vision of what America should be like: ban on worker organizing, flat tax, bureaucratic administration of the State passing itself off as democracy, corporate ownership of the means of production, stagnating wages, corrupted environment.....
Hopefully, the Iraqi and U.S. workers will see the need for some fried snowballs.

===== ***************************************************************** "the Council Republic is not the culmination of everything, and even less does it stand for the most perfect form in which humans can live together. However the Council Republic is a prerequisite for the reconstruction of culture, because it makes possible the liquidation of the state,. It must be the task of the revolutionary of today to work for the Council system and the Council Republic". (Der Ziegelbrenner)
