3️⃣0️⃣Reasons why you should join the Communists 📝🔴

Reason 1️⃣0️⃣ Put an end to Austerity 💷✂️🚫

In 2010, the disastrous coalition government began to implement an austerity program that has ravaged our economy and public services. The Tories and Lib Dems relentlessly... 1/8
...cut our NHS, education and welfare system in an attempt to cover up the damage caused by capitalism.

This austerity was nothing less than a planned attack on working class rights and living standards to make workers pay for the Financial Crisis. Britain’s ruling class... 2/8
...and their political parties told us cuts were necessary to pay for the £1,300 billion bailout handed to the banks in 2008.

Johnson and the Tories, who have devastated our country and our communities for the last decade, now claim that austerity is over, but working... 3/8
...people know this simply isn’t the case. There has been no reversal of cuts and no new investment in our communities and our public services.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed how dangerously underprepared our NHS and other public services have been left by Tory cuts. 4/8
The same essential workers who have been relentlessly attacked over the last decade are now called heroes by the government - but apparently all they deserve is clapping.

Another economic crisis is coming which was already in the making long before the pandemic. 5/8
The Tories will try to use it as a pretext to force another decade of austerity on us and to finish privatising our NHS.

The YCL utterly rejects austerity. Working people didn’t cause the crisis and cuts and job losses won’t solve it. The YCL stands in unity with working... 6/8
...class communities to call for an immediate end to austerity.

Britain's Communists fight for an increase in public spending, an immediate reversal on NHS privatisation, and more accessible education. In a socialist society, free from exploitation, this would never... 7/8
...occur as the so-called "market forces" that ravaged the global economy would not hold the power they do now. The economy would be ran according to needs of the people, not the banks and big business. 8/8
