I want to change the world, I want to strike the spark or kick the pebble that will start the fire or the avalanche that will change the world a little.<\/em><\/p>\n

– Fred Voss<\/p>\n

Everyone can see the growing inequality, the precarious and low paid nature of employment, the housing crisis in our cities, the divisions and inequalities between social classes, the problems of obesity, drink and drugs, and the sheer everyday struggle to pay the bills for many working people. In this situation, Fred Voss is like a prophet. He is warning us of the consequences of the way we live, he is telling truth to power, and he is inspiring us with a positive vision of a possible \u2013 and desirable \u2013 socialist future.<\/em><\/p>\n

– Len McCluskey, General Secretary, Unite the Union<\/p>\n
