California: The Working Class Answer to the Budget Crisis
From International Trotskyist No. 8, Fall 1993.
Introductory Note: California's 2008-2009 budget crisis is even more severe than the earlier one, in 1992-1993, which prompted the publication of this article. The article's message is just as valid today, and even more important. Today, working people and their families - not only in California, but in many other states as well - face massive cuts in government-funded social services, prompted by an economic crisis on a scale not seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s. This article explains how we can fight back effectively.
