Submitted by AngryWorkersWorld on Mar 27 2019 19:32
This is a draft for the fourth part of our system series - it will be published in our local workers’ paper WorkersWildWest.

We don’t want to compromise on the complexity of the issue and we try to avoid lefty jargon. Let us know what you think and we can re-work the draft:
