US faces resurgent COVID-19 catastrophe - World Socialist Web Site
EXCERPT:
The fact is that, for America’s workers, millions of whom are threatened with death and debilitation by the pandemic, the eradication of COVID-19 is an inescapable necessity.
The danger cannot be overstated, the surge will only be compounded further once schools reopen in the fall. Workers must immediately begin to organize rank-and-file committees to protect their own safety, fighting for the end of in-person instruction, the closure of non-essential businesses, and the stringent public health measures to contain the disease.
There is no solution to this crisis on a national basis, and a globally-coordinated fight to eradicate the disease in every country is required.
In the final analysis, the pandemic has proven that capitalism—with its feuding nation states and inhuman focus on the extraction of surplus value from the working class—is incompatible with the needs of human civilization.
