The Cerberus-Chrysler deal: The case for public ownership of the auto…
World Socialist Web Site – May 30, 2007
The buyout?the first by a private equity firm of a major auto producer?threatens the jobs and livelihoods of Chrysler?s 80000 workers in the US and Canada and sets a precedent for an intensified attack on all autoworkers. The Cerberus takeover marks a new stage in the decades-long assault on the jobs and living standards of auto workers and industrial workers as a whole. It is the product not simply of the subjective greed of corporate executives and speculators but of the crisis and failure of the capitalist system itself. Ever more brutally the living standards of working people all over the world are being sacrificed to maintain a parasitic and socially destructive system that subordinates all social needs to the further enrichment of a financial elite. The global character of the attack on auto workers demonstrates that it is the expression of a systemic crisis in the auto industry and the profit system as a whole.
