North Africa has risen. As always, the striking similarity of the situation. Somewhere we've already seen: the young people with higher education working in a coffee shop , unemployment and anger, protests, vyplesnuvshiesya to the streets in response to Cop chaos: for the police for the unemployed - it's like a boss for the hard workers. All these details clearly indicate that what is happening these days in Egypt - is not another world. This is our world. In the XXI century will not be exotic overseas revolutions. Make no mistake: though what is happening already eclipsed the Greek riots and student unrest in England , the reason they have one.

To keep abreast of the rapidly unfolding events, we strongly recommend that you read the dispatches friends from Egypt and see the anti-authoritarian perspective in the Middle East .But to be found in these uprisings any hope, we must think of themselves as part of this process, and act accordingly.With this purpose, we will publish the analysis of our comrade in North Africa.

Revolution in Egypt: The End of the New Pharaohs?

Egypt reached the boiling point

Former dictator Ben Ali runs on a private jet from the crowds of compatriots calling for change. Hated by the people of the police stations, have long become torturous casemates in the name of "fighting terrorism", are burned.Men and women with kitchen knives in the hands of organized self-defense committees of the police. The army refused to shoot their friends and relatives.

What is happening now - first in Tunisia and now in Egypt - is the beginning of a new wave of full-scale revolutions that inevitably follow the global economic crisis in 2008 .Occurring after the failed "war on terror", these revolutions combine dormant for so long and the power of a huge number of unemployed youth with the dynamism of the network of information dissemination. These revolutions - predvozvestnitsy sunset decades of counter-revolutionary reaction set in after Sept. 11, 2001. And although the study of new tactics and decentralized forms of organization, first tested the anti-globalization movement , is still ongoing, now form and scope of these new revolutions have no analogues.Stand-alone (in the broadest sense of the word) of the pervasive use of World Wide Web, to cause the uprising against the pharaohs of the new capitalist empire. Rebellion, in which there are no leaders.

Self-appointed rulers of this world are perplexed, trying to understand the new social and technological forces that have come into play. The aging dictator Mubarak - a beautiful, but not the only, example. We can almost feel the fear, which is distributed not only among the autocrats of China and Saudi Arabia but also among the supposedly democratic leaders with deysvtuyuschimi mechanisms of representative democracy.Spasms that gripped the U.S. government - the most grotesque. The people of Egypt is well aware of the fact that the bullets that kill their comrades, were brought from the United States. Every year, Egypt receives military aid from the United States in the amount of $ 1.3 billion . Suppression of "democracy" in the Middle East - the deliberate policy of the government of North America.They understand that public opinion will never support their aspirations for the imposition of global capitalism by force of arms.

The most desperate attempts to Mubarak regime my ears and not listen to the protesters have not helped stifle the voice of indignation in the streets of Cairo. Did not help either blocking cellular or off the Internet throughout the country.The colonial authorities silenced the Arabs and Africans for many generations. Inhabitants of Europe and the U.S. media portrayed the them - by choice - something like "savages", then as "terrorists." Now the nations of Egypt, loudly, in unison to demand freedom - freedom, not political Islam as we would like to make everyone believe the demagogues of Iran and Israel. When the nation goes the way now are the people of Egypt - is a practical embodiment of the ideals which the hypocritical government of our country recognizes only on paper.

Today, for the communities of countries like Egypt and Tunisia have characterized the state of general unemployment.And this is especially seen in the younger generations, who sostavyalyut majority of the population. Unemployment - this is no accident, but an inevitable consequence of the last thirty years of triumph of capitalism. Their inner limits of capitalism as a system yet reached in 1970. Now, however, plants of all branches of industry produce more and more consumer goods, and robotization makes working less and less popular.And the only way to continue to receive income - or does it refuse to work, or pay them a pittance. To curb the rapidly growing population of unemployed and prevent revolution, the police is an endless war with the people. We live in a world filled to the brim with cheap crap, and human life is valued in this world, least of all.

Under these circumstances, people have nothing to lose. That is nothing to lose except dignity. And as it turned out, part with this value, they are not ready.That is rooted deeply in the soul of Mohammed Bouaziz self-esteem caused him to commit self-immolation to escape humiliation at the hands of police, who took away the shop with fruit, deprived him of the only way to feed themselves and their families. Flame grilled Mohamed Bouaziz, spread rapidly caught up by other unemployed, who in a moment turned from abstract into beggars having historical and global importance of heroes.The people of Egypt, not only sets fire to car cops. He organizes committees to clean the streets from the police and other debris . Never before has the streets of Cairo were not so safe.

Not surprising and had risen after these events, a wave of revolutions. Since the time of the pharaohs and the kings of the world seen such a mindless power, like the one that represents the power of international financial institutions.As soon as the income from industrial production began to decline in recent decades, the capitalists were forced more and more speaking to the receipt of income based on the promise of profits in the future. But as the capitalists could get people to buy fast desheveyuschie consumer products while continuing to earn income? We had to invent a way to ensure that the purchasing power of even those consumers who did not receive wages: and - voila! - Massive debt.When the sale of tangible goods ceases to generate income, you can still get through the ever increasing fantastic promises of future profits - in other words, the financial market.

But, like every house of cards, the debt can not be built upon a house forever. Sooner or later, someone wants to be paid - and that's the whole structure collapses under its own weight in 2008. Financial crisis points to an even deeper metaphysical crisis of the existing world order: capitalism can not provide the material needs of people in the world.High levels of poverty in Egypt - is not the result of bad governance Mubarak, and the inevitable consequence of the contradictions of our epoch.

Heads of modern states can only stand aside and watch stupidly as a crisis breaks one element of their world after another. Their eyes are clouded with faith in their own ideology and thoughts are limited by lack of imagination. They behave like idiots when they try to "restart" the financial markets with the help of "green capitalism" or "capitalism, austerity, refusing to even think about systemic change.Despite the fact that the current system not only fail to give everyone a decent life, but at least ensure that all those who need jobs and essential commodities. And as for the overthrow of the kings needed era of revolution, so now it became necessary in the next era of revolution to overthrow the government of things: the power of financial capital and its puppet dictators.
