Game over for OccupyLSX?

Eviction looms closer for protesters camping at Occupy LSX, after courts ruled in favour of the City of London’s attempts to police land they don’t own.

Although the protestors are staging an appeal it is likely that an eviction will take place in the near future.

Last week the Parliament Square Peace Camp was partially evicted.

The state and ruling class are cracking down now because vibrant expressions of democratic feedoms aren’t compatible with the values of the parasites who intend to milk as much as they can out of us during the Olympics and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee ‘celebrations’.

The international spread of Occupy protests across five continents demonstrates the scale of a crisis which is revealing the true nature of class society – summed up best by the blithe ditching of democracy when IMF bureaucrats replaced the elected governments of Greece and Italy.

The global wave of protest, uprising and revolution against austerity, dictatorship and war shook those in power. In some cases it got them shot.

Yet, this has only entrenched them in their commitment to making ordinary people pay for the crisis with our homes, jobs and healthcare. The Tories are determined to do irreversible damage to the welfare state before the next election.

For all the success of the Occupy movement, we cannot deny that those in power consider it to be a fad whose time is up. With the media distracted by royal yachts, the bailiffs are tooling up in the wings.

OccupyLSX’s consensus-based model proved incapable of providing a practical alternative to the existing power structures. But in just three months on the steps of St. Pauls, it has played a pivotal role in galvanising a wider social movement alongside the historic actions of the organised labour movement last year.

Resistance to austerity and exploitation is escalating throughout our society – from primark workers to teachers, people are fighting back.

If we are to succeed in bringing down the government to stop these cuts, then we need to win the argument by leading the struggles to show how collective action gives us the potential to transform our society. We want to channel the anger and energy into a united organisation capable of rallying all those committed to fighting for an anticapitalist alternative.
