From the Collapse of Iceland's Government to the Riots in Oakland: All of Them Must Go!

Naomi Klein's article All of Them Must Go takes a look at all the people pissed off around the world rioting and attacking their governments these last few months. From the collapse of the Icelandic Government at the hands of pot-banging matriarchs to the riots in Greece, the General Strike in France, and the protests in Latvia, she brings her keens sense of history and memories of the early 2000's uprising in Argentina to one final conclusion:

The pattern is clear: governments that respond to a crisis created by free-market ideology with an acceleration of that same discredited agenda will not survive to tell the tale. As Italy's students have taken to shouting in the streets: "We won't pay for your crisis!"

The question that we have to ask in the United States is how can we, in the midst of this crisis, take on this system. The riots in Oakland against the police murder of Oscar Brown, the occupation of the Republic Windows Factory, and the fury in our hearts demonstrates that we aren't going to take this system much longer. For once in world history, the Icelandic people show the way.
