THE CURRENT GLOBAL REBELLION
Tomás Oropeza Berumen
01.02 .. 2011 .- A wave of rebellion sweeping the world. Workers unemployed, students and farmers in several countries have stood up demanding an end to the rapacity of the neoliberal governments that have shattered their lives.
The year 2010 saw general strikes in Spain, France, England, Greece and Portugal to protest economic adjustments to save the capital, to prevent the plundering of pension funds and other demand economic model. Today
North Africa is being rocked by the popular movements against dictatorships in Tunisia and Egypt. Against regimes that have implemented the policy designed by the World Bank and IMF, USA.

In Egypt a few days set fire to the prairie and the regime of Hosni Mubarak, with three decades in power, staggering under the relentless push of a people prancing by the ravages of neoliberal capitalism. 80 million Egyptians, half live in poverty. Without health, no job and no education.
Facebook, Twitter, e mails and text messages have been instrumental to summon the gigantic demonstrations. In addition to leafleting and radio Bemba. Neither the repression and the establishment of a curfew, suspension of Internet and mobile phones and almost all external communication have prevented the continuation of the ongoing revolution.

But the fact is important. They have agreed to give him a fight together for the country in a different direction. As one farmer, to "overthrow Calderon." We must mobilize the masses before they exceed the leaders, many deputies and senators, respectable men and stagnant system.
