Egyptian workers, teachers, transit workers strike against military rule

Just as the international media did with regard the general strike that shook Cuba and helped bring down the dictatorship, the role of the working class in the struggles in the Middle east or anywhere will be somewhat obscured by the capitalist press, even the liberal wing of it.  There have been years of major strikes in Egypt and they are continuing on a daily basis in one form or another. It is important for us not to lose track of this as it is the working class that the military dictatorships, Mullahs, absolute monarchies and more liberal democratic regimes fear most and quite right they are.
