The global coronavirus pandemic has exposed the underlying weaknesses of world capitalism. Workers and oppressed people face 3 interrelated crises: a looming climate crisis, an economic crisis which already existed but was brought out in the open by the outbreak, and a pandemic that threatens the health of millions.<\/p>\n

The current situation is unprecedented. In order to slow the advance of the COVID-19 outbreak, governments are consciously demobilizing whole sections of the capitalist economy. In the US alone at least 10 million are unemployed.<\/p>\n

In the US, the Trump administration has refused to develop a national plan of action. There are already shortages of basic protective equipment for healthcare workers.<\/p>\n

What are the roots of these crises and how can the working class address them in a way that puts forward the interests of the majority instead of the ruling rich?<\/p>\n
