Yes, but you need numbers and it’s fucking difficult. Amazon warehouses are the organizers dream, but they have their own internal intelligence that monitors workers and tons of snitches. I would do the work of getting to know everyone you can before making any moves. You can’t even say the U word until you genuinely know as many people on your work floor as possible
This is bad advice. People respond well to communist rhetoric in plain english, but badly to pictures of Marx.
If every investment banker in New York went on strike, nothing would much change in America. If every plumber decided to stop working, every electrician, the country comes to a halt. I mean, literally, not figuratively, literally, it comes to a damn halt.
Tonight I am calling on every American to commence a general strike effective immediately. All campaign donations will go directly to a general strike fund for workers, every cent will put food on a striking worker’s table.
We have a single demand: complete worker ownership of every company. If this demand is not met, we will destroy the global economy with zero hesitation.
This is your last chance for a peaceful transition of power and let me tell you something: you should take it. Because the next step? Well the next step is armed revolution and I’m strapped, Jack. I’m armed to the teeth.
I will make Hồ Chí Minh look like Rachel Fucking Maddow, I swear on the graves of my dead wife and children. Surrend the means of production or we will take it by force and leave your body rotting in the street. No malarkey, I’m a man of my word.
Folks, the rich only seem powerful because we are on our knees. Let us rise.
:biden:.
For the first time in the protests, a neutral third party (not a protester, not a cop or counterprotester, but a security guard hired by news reporters) had to use deadly force in self defense, and it wasn’t against the radical anarcho-antifas 🤔
this sites pretty cool. i joined the old sub at like 700 subscribers, cant believe im still here lol and even still listen to the pod sometimes .
i think i’ve listened to maybe two episodes of the podcast, the only one i remember being the pisspiggrandad one lol
yeah, it’s a pretty cool pivot from literally fighting ISIS. podcasts are just a medium that don’t click with me unfortunately.
Wait, Pinkertons are still around? The Fuck!? And they shot someone other than a union member?
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EkBLUjuWsAEKpGG?format=jpg&name=large They never really went away, actually, though they don’t do so much union busting and detective work these days. They’re basically corporate security and intelligence contractors, now owned by these guys.
At least in my area the Securitas company bought the pinkertons and uses all their paperwork on the backend. I don’t know how it works in a corporate sense. I know they go all the way into PMC contracting and government contracts but the entire industry is surprisingly shady.
It’s the wild wild world of the American Hegemonic Military - Industrial - Espionage - Information - Marketing -Technology -Who even fucking knows - Complex.
There’s just this vast, muddy swamp of weirdly interconnected arms companies, government agencies, private espionage groups, mercenary contractors, security firms, banks. Like a whole fucking economy within the economy that’s just full of spies and mercs and shit.
The same guys who provide security for your local car garage might, in some weird esoteric thread of corporate malfeasance, also be selling missiles to Ukrainian neo-nazis.
