Occupations in Austria for Free Education are going strong and spreading.
Anonymous | 28.10.2009 16:22 | Education | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | World
I am part of the student representative body at the Philipps University in Marburg and initiator of the independent platform "International Student Movement" (ISM).
It is great to see this group grow and reaching almost 5.000 members within just a few days.
Please keep inviting people. It inspires the occupiers and helps to spread the global perspective of the struggle.

_________________________________
We have a VERY unique situation right now:
Protestes are spreading across Austria, groups are preparing protests across Germany [esp. on Nov.17th], Italy [esp. on Nov.17th], the U.S. of A. [especially on Nov.10th; 2 buildings of the University of California (Santa Cruz) are still occupied], Canada [esp. on Nov.5th], Croatia [to begin soon] and in Bosnia Herzigovina [warming up already].
Further protests are expected in Ireland, Nepal, Bulgaria, Marocco, [f.Y.R.o.] Macedonia, the UK, Switzerland, Indonesia, Spain, Bangladesh and elsewhere in the coming month.
Most of the actions will also be part of the
"Education is NOT for $A£€ - Global Week of Action",
which is called for by 60 groups in 24 countries on the independent platform "International Student Movement".

We must free public education from economic interests!!
Our struggle for FREE and EMANCIPATORY public Education [and against the increasing commercialisation and privatisation] can only be won, if we unite globally!!
Therefore I ask ALL of you to consider to JOIN the struggle on an international level by joining this Global Week of Action!
Show locally, that this struggle is GLOBAL!!
The infrastructure is there! We just need to make use of it!
Just drop me a line, if you have any questions or suggestions in connection with the ISM or the Global Week of Action.

Fairs fare, without the next generation paying for the next all you get is a very poor country, both mentaly and financialy.
Or should the people (taxpayers) just shut up and keep paying for your lifestyle?
an answer plese, for clarification.
oh and "milk the rich" is very poor as an answer, as at the moment the bulk of taxes come from the middle and working class (due to number, the rich make up only a very small proportion of population)
