Privatisation has been sweeping the UK and attacking the working class and the downtrodden for years. Housing, Transport, Hospitals, Gas, Schools and water are just part of an ever growing list of services and resources which have been sold off by the state to marauding capitalist groups.
‘Defend Council Housing’ has been working for years to stop people’s homes becoming the property of capitalist investors. The working class are facing a housing system were there are dire shortages, poor accommodation and they do not need this to be continued by private investors and then added to by increases in rent which all private housing associations have done country wide. These assaults on the working class must be stopped with all the strength of Anarchists, Trade Unionists, Anti Capitalists and all workers nationwide.
West Midlands Anarchists calls for all Anarchists and all workers, to join the rally called by ‘Defend Council Housing’ on the 8th February at Central Hall in Westminster at 12pm for the mass rally and then to march on parliament demanding an end to privatisation and for communities to have control over there own housing stocks not bureaucrats in local government or parasite capitalist thieves but working class people themselves. And this needs to be more than a one day affair; anarchists nationally need to get involved with the day to day local battles for better housing for working class people.

And not only that, lots of council tenants aren't even Anarchists and some of them voted for Blair! West Midlands Anarchists selling out or what?
Surely true Anarchists should attack the hierarchical bureaucratic state by supporting the transfer of council housing to the private sector?

West Midlands Anarchists are not selling out because we believe in actual interaction which benefits the working class, and involves anarchists in the day to day problems working class peopel face, and if that means we have to join with other revolutionaries to aid teh defendce and the advancement of teh working class then that is the best thing anarchists can be doing right now.
You can sit on the fringes and pretend to be involved in the day to day struggles and bread and butter issues, but if you want real change and you are sincere about wanting a revolution then you will realise that the anarchist movement can only grow if we involve ourselves with people who get off their arses and actually take good steps to defend the working class and are not so up their own arses to remove themselves from the front lines of the class struggle, and any anarchist who cant see that, aint a very good anarchist. Just another radical liberal IMO.
