A mass, direct action movement has broken out in Austria against planned attacks on the university education system.
It all started when The Fine Art Academy was occupied by a small number of students who were protesting at plans by the Austrian education ministry to introduce a three-tier degree system.

Across University of California (UC) campuses, thousands came out in protest against proposed furloughs for teachers, job reductions for campus workers, and a staggering 30% increase in tuition costs for students.

If the army recruiters thought before that we would go away and never come back…they were dead wrong.

Over 250,000 school students, university students and trainees took to the streets on June 17. The students were demonstrating against cuts in education and also against the increasing involvement of private enterprise in the school system. The protests took place in more than 70 cities all over the country.
REVOLUTION calls for general strike, shoras and a constituent assembly to bring down the government!
The imperialist government of the United States has demonstrated, once again, to all forces resisting is oppression and subjugation, whether direct or indirect, that there will be no let up of the slaughter so long as resistance to its position as the world’s sole superpower exists. All those who refuse to bow to its wishes will be destroyed as quickly and as gruesomely as possible, as the recent events surrounding this past Tuesday’s bombings in the South Waziristan region of Pakistan illustrate.
