Why you should skip work and refuse to buy anything tomorrow ...

May 1


A General Strike is the most effective way to pressure the government to change

Protracted General Strikes have revolutionary potential. They can bring down governments and pave the way to for libertarian communism

Everyone else on the planet is doing it, and has been doing so since 1886, when the U.S. executed 4 anarchists on trumped up charges of throwing a bomb in Haymarket Square, during protests to establish the 8-hour work day in the U.S

So this is what's happening in East Palestine, Ohio, USA. This is a cloud of toxic vinyl chloride, HCI and phosgene. The vapour cloud will break down and fall as acid rain. It'll destroy the ecology of a massive area. It happened after the braking system failed on train carriages transporting this chemical failed, derailing the carriages.
The braking system dates back to civil war times. The unions lobbied for the train company to upgrade to newer systems brought in in the 90's.
But...profits. The train company said it couldn't afford the upgrades. Despite shareholder's profits being through the roof.
Even the Obama administration sided with the owners, not the unions.

If this sounds familiar, it's because it is. This could happen in the UK. Because privately owned companies value profit over safety. It's what the RMT are currently fighting for.

Now do you get it?

Vapour cloud above East Palestine, Ohio USA. The cloud is due to a forced burning of vinyl chloride spilt from derailed railway carriages. This apocalyptic scene is the product of corporate gréed over safety.
