History, wrote the great Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky, is cruel, not kind. Like the proverbial wicked stepmother, it teaches lessons with blows, not caresses.
Today's blows come in the form of austerity, the mechanism by which the rich get the poor to pay for the crimes of the banks and imperialist war for the purpose of plundering the natural resources of others which in turn has led to the refugee crisis threatening to engulf Europe.
Capitalism doesn't work. It must be overthrown to secure justice for all.
