EYEWITNESS WISCONSIN: the return of class struggle

The mass protests in support of Wisconsin workers showed that we can fight back against austerity. Inspired by the great struggle against Egyptian dictator Muburak students, teachers, firefighters, nurses and Teamsters occupied the State Capitol building for three weeks and marched in the hundreds of thousands to say no to union-busting, no to concessions and no to social services cuts.
Walker got his bill through but the struggle isn't over. Now workers in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan are resisting anti-union and anti-working class legislation. What strategies can win? How can we build on this inspirational demonstration of working class mobilization, solidarity and unity? What is the role of socialists and radicals in rebuilding working class struggle and organization?
