It was during Tahrir Book Fair in the AUC when I met this American women called Natalie, who told me that they hope to make a revolution in the USA (not just the USA) inspired by the Egyptian Jan25 revolution.
But then I wondered “Do you really need to make a revolution in the USA? Do not you like Obama?”. “No, we do not”, She replied. So I asked her about the reason and she answered “BECAUSE HE IS CAPITALIST”.
Back then I did not thought that a country like the USA would be in need to an Egypt-inspired revolution. But Natalie told me that she is a member in the Socialist Workers Party SWP (a political organization in the United States) and in the USA, because of the capitalism, the country does not care about workers and does not give them their rights.
Natalie gave me a book titled “Is socialist revolution in the U.S. possible?” by Mary-Alice Waters, but because of a large set of books I have, I could not read it. And now after I have found the media (here or here) talking about anti-capitalism protests in the US and other countries, I think I should pick that book up and read it.
