=======================

What we are looking at here is one of the most radical working-class struggles taking place in the world at the moment. The South Korean workers are absolutely right to defend their jobs from the economic crisis. It is the workers who create wealth in society and the rich who have fucked the economy up. The struggle in South Korea is not separate from the struggle in Britain it is the same. Their fight is our fight.

Why demonstrate?

By attending this demonstration we can show the worker's in occupation that in resisting tear gas, catapults and wanton acts of state-violence that there are people all over the world in support of them. The occupiers recently sent a message of solidarity to the occupiers at Vestas' factory in the Isle of White. Let us send solidarity back to them and condemn the brutal violence enforced by Lee Myunk-Bak.

Together we must build an international movement where we organise, occupy and fight for the right to work with the belief that another world is possible.
