I'm thinking about writing a post about a general strike. But I don't really know enough yet. I guess the odds are that nobody here has actually lived through one. I'd really like to find out what it's like in the days leading up to a general strike, as well as the day of.

I'm also thinking about what to recommend. Probably a good idea to have a small first aid kit to bring with you, including bottled water. Eye protection. Some kind of protective clothing, possibly? Turning off fingerprint and facial recognition on your phone? If you can afford it, maybe a burner phone instead?

Any suggestions would be very welcome!

Your labor - YOUR LIFE - has value that they steal from you. They leave you with scraps.

No wonder our communities are hollowed out. They have replaced every social good and connection with commerce.

Its increasingly rare to find neighborhoods where the neighbors know and help one another. We're too busy focused on what the money perverts expect from us.

When will it be enough? When will you finally say, "Fuck this!" and walk?

Why not today?

Why not now?

Today in Labor History December 11, 1990: Students and workers demonstrated throughout Albania in protests that eventually led to the fall of communism, with a General Strike in 1991. And the communists were thoroughly trounced in the elections of March 1992.

"Going on strike is protecting the present and the future. It's rejecting a country where profit is always valued more than people. It's remembering that without valued workers, no one moves forward." I stand with labor, tomorrow & always, everywhere. #GeneralStrike #GreveGeral #Portugal

Greve Geral: porquê e para quê...

@DrALJONES

Agree on the goal.

And agree that it is time for ongoing, rolling #GeneralStrike

"By weakening collective bargaining & opening even more space for outsourcing & temporary work, the government leaves each worker more vulnerable & with less power to defend their wages & conditions. But those who work know very well that nothing we have was given to us." #GeneralStrike #GreveGeral

Literally the only two options ever presented as a solution to America's problems - Vote! And/or Give Strangers Money!

This is why these problems persist.

The people who claim to offer solutions have none. Like all power perverts, they only want your attention and the proceeds from your work.

Stop working for perverts, stop participating in the corrupt system they built, and start putting your effort toward improving your and your community's stability.
