“the State has directly transformed #capitalism since the 1930s. The State regulates the flow of capital, owns outright or indirectly, large bodies of capital, (for example, the aerospace program in both its public and private sectors), and through the contract – enforced by the shop [committees] and #union stewards, who in effect become agents of the state – disciplines the workers. On the one hand, the #NewDeal Acts … provided the legal context in which workers raised their wages through massive #strikes at the end of World War II. On the other hand, the CIO #unions became through the process the political weapons of the State against the working class. Carefully legalized mass industrial unions were a necessary part of this development; industry-wide bargaining agents able to impose wage rates high enough to drive out all marginal producers who cut prices by super-exploitation of workers were in effect incorporated into the State apparatus.”
— Richard #Warwick, Working Class Self-Activity (1969)

I need help doing this. A lot of help, and I mean that. A LOT of help. If we could, maybe, get a literal global general strike for even one hour it will shut up the entirety of fascists. They need to feel very real extreme global pressure to stop being against everyone. I am willing to do the bare minimum and but a domain. And if we are on fedi, guess what? They have absolutely no chance of shutting us down. This needs widespread support, so I'm going to tag everything I can think of.

PortsideUnions Without StrikesYou can spend a lifetime studying the rich history of the labor movement. While you are doing that, new union battles and campaigns will constantly arise. Laws will change, the economy will change, industries will rise and fall. New technologies will challenge workers in previously unimagined ways. Yet the fact remains that the more you study all of the complexities of the past, present, and future, you are left with one central truth: The power of organized labor is the power of the strike. Without the strike, the labor movement’s claim to power falls apart.

#BernieSanders updates #America on the latest #news and that #AOC and him hired 800 ppl to build a #USwide #grassroots network to #FightBack.
#GifsArtidote: There's no authority but your own. Still we need #educators, #organisers and resisters and that is what they both are. I think they have a good tactic. The people, YOU, united, can change direction. We can fight back with love and empathy for each other and #sabotage #boycotts & #strikes for the #BillionaireClass
