The global capitalist system is engulfed in the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. Social inequality has soared to virtually unprecedented heights, unemployment has plunged tens of millions of workers to poverty, and the lack of access to a decent education has dashed the prospects of large numbers of youth. It is in these conditions that the International Students for Social Equality (ISSE), the student group of the Socialist Equality Party (see wsws.org), intervenes to raise the consciousness of students and workers, and to unite them in a common struggle for basic social rights: a well paying job, a good education, high quality health care, access to culture, etc. This requires, above all, a break from the Democrats and Republicans and the building of a mass party of workers and youth based on a socialist program.
