The virus has been going around the world now for more than a year.
Entire sectors of public life have been put to a standstill. The
capacity of the Dutch healthcare system is pushed to its limits. While
public money is being used to bailout big corporations, the health care
system is underfunded and increasingly more privatied. Health care
insurance is expensive and health care is not accessible for those who
cannot pay. People in marginalised and vulnerable groups cannot be
treated properly or are not treated at all. Hundreds of thousands of
people have lost their jobs, their homes, and their livelihoods. Many
lives have been lost because of the pandemic and the state's
mismanagement of it, but it does not and it did not have to be like
this. Let's not believe their lies, we are not "all in this together".
The rich get even richer because of this crisis from the safety of their
beautiful homes, while the (frontline)workers, the poor and the
marginalised carry the biggest burden and are forced to risk their
lives.
We did not create the crisis, and yet should we now bear the
consequences? We should "tighten our belts" because we are now "all in
the same boat"? Yes, now we are all in the same boat - but the
capitalists, bosses, landlords, politicians, and managers are in
another.
Corona Crisis? Not on our backs!
Come in action – let's make the rich pay for Covid 19!
Another World is Possible!
