WSWS.org<\/em> d\u00e9taille les divers affrontements, pressions, etc., entre les capitalistes du syst\u00e8me, qui poss\u00e8dent les grands groupes de communications, et les sc\u00e9naristes et ceux qui leur sont associ\u00e9s. Puis le texte observe:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abTwo days later, a studio executive told Variety, speaking of the guild leaders, For them, this is not a writers strike. It’s about changing society. … We are so frustrated. We’re dealing with people who don’t care about this community. They care about making social change in America.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIn regard to the WGA leadership, which is respectable and well-heeled and which continues to pledge its commitment to the best interests of the industry as a whole,’ including of course the profits of the giant firms, this is a fantasy. However, the entertainment moguls are not wrong in seeing the strike as objectively posing questions about the structure of their industry and American society as a whole.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbBoth decent living standards for writers and everyone else in the entertainment industry and an artistically and intellectually satisfying popular culture are incompatible with the current corporate stranglehold. How can the writers advance their cause without challenging the present set-up and contributing to the emergence of a mass anti-capitalist social movement in the US?<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tLe texte reproduit \u00e9galement plusieurs entretiens avec diff\u00e9rents gr\u00e9vistes, des sc\u00e9naristes mais aussi d’autres membres du domaine qui soutiennent la gr\u00e8ve. On reproduit ici un entretien avec un acteur, Gary Watts, qui soutient le mouvement des sc\u00e9naristes, participe \u00e0 leurs manifestations, \u00e0 leurs piquets de gr\u00e8ves, etc. On voit que l’entretien est clairement politique, portant sur la situation politique fondamentale des USA; on voit surtout comment, \u00e0 partir d’un raisonnement assez sommaire qui est celui de l’origine de la gr\u00e8ve et de la situation g\u00e9n\u00e9rale des USA hors les 5% d\u00e9tenant la majorit\u00e9 de la fortune de ce pays, la pens\u00e9e en arrive in\u00e9vitablement \u00e0 une expression politique r\u00e9volutionnaire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abWe spoke to actor Gary Watts, present at the rally to show his support for the striking writers.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWatts explained his views: The AMPTP want something for nothing out of the backbone of the American working class and it’s just not going to happen any longer. I mean it’s time that we take back America, it’s time that we have a middle class, preserve what’s left of the middle class and it’s time that the writers, the Screen Actors Guild and everyone else get their fair share. We’re only asking for what’s fair.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb We look at this entertainment industry, it’s made up of multibillion-dollar corporations in a multibillion-dollar industry. You see the box office results, but we have to remember that most of those results printed in newspapers are only domestic; they’re not even talking about foreign moneys that are made out of this. So we’re looking at something on a scale that is unprecedented and if we don’t put a stop to it now, then America and the working class is in serious, serious trouble.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb As we speak right now on this line December 18, the FCC<\/em> [Federal Communications Commission] is holding a hearing about more media consolidation. That would be just devastating to the American people as a wholenot just America, but globally it would have an impact on the dissemination of information. So there are some serious issues at hand here.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb I’m very disappointed with the Democratic Party at this point in time because they have shown very few differences with the Republican Party when it comes to standing up and fighting for the American working class. We’re going to have to have a viable third party in this country. The Democrats and the Republicans have got to this situation. So what are you going to do, vote for a Republican?’ That’s what the Democrats will say. The Republicans will say, What are you going to do, vote for a Democrat?’ If it’s only the lesser of two evils, why vote for anybody at all? It’s time for us to have a viable independent third party not beholden to anybody but the American people.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Even though we live in a capitalist society, what you really see during time of need is that the American people come together and act in a socialist manner, such as taking care of their neighbors, taking care of their friends, helping everybody out. I think basically the socialism that I’m looking at is part of the fabric of American societyor used to be anywayit used to be the we’ instead of the me.’ And I believe that’s the social conscience that the old America used to have.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb I mean, by the people, for the people,’ going back to the essence of what America was founded on, going back to the essence of the Constitution of the United States. I think America as a wholein the political arena especiallyhas wandered away from the true intent of the forming of this country. We have to go back to the basics. We the people need to go back to that kind of essence.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbBoth parties will come together on issues that affect them. Democrats and Republicans will do anything that they possibly can to ensure that there is no independent party or any independent opposition, anything that threatens the two-party system. They will join together to ensure that that doesn’t happen.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
