We are part of a wider struggle

The world awakens with the screams of ‘F**k fees’!
The first demo of this struggle was seen on 10th of November. People saw a huge throng of students, (not only university students but school students too) marching in Westminster. Saying and demanding,
`No to Education Cuts’
`No to (increased) Charges for Education’
`Education should be Free!’
But can this whole struggle be seen with this one-dimensional perspective of ‘fight against state for reducing fees’?
NO! This revolt of students is a strong voice against the unfair education system. What they say is this, `Education for the masses not just for the ruling classes!’ They connect themselves with the workers’ struggle all over the world. `We are Part of a Wider Struggle!’ they say. This effort of students towards a better, rational and equal society is appreciable not just for the struggle but for this vision. In an atomized world today, where the youth is criticized harshly for being self-seeking, selfish and indifferent, this revolt is a good exemplar of youth’s endeavor to stand united and fight for the Real cause.
This small speech is by a boy of 15 years old.

His speech is an excellent answer to all those who criticize us for being aimless, our lack of ideology and our indifference.
