Occupy calls for Global general strike.


Recommended Posts

Movements across the globe, including the well known #Occupy have called for a global wildcat general strike.

This is a call for a 5 day weekend beginning Friday April 27th, culminating in global General Strike on Tuesday May 1st. We propose using this mobilization as a tool for realizing more global solidarity and mutual aid while creating and strengthening the necessary relations and conditions for revolutionary potential – here and now. We will strike, assemble, block and shut down the circuits of capital!

 

Strikes are taking place across the globe!

I wonder if it will get the same overwhelming support occupy Sheffield did ?

We were told by a bosses, by activists, by union leaders we couldn’t strike. Perhaps, they suggested, if we wanted to protest we could carry a sign and walk within police barricades, safely cordoned off in a free speech zone. On May 1st, we aren’t working and we aren’t protesting. We are striking.

 

We call on all fellow wildcat strikers to join us for a massive unpermitted march at 1pm at Sara D. Roosevelt Park (corner of 2nd and Houston). Along with striking rebels all over the world, we will show the bosses and cops of the world that we are many and we are only getting stronger.

 

Bring drums, banners, music, and an affinity group. Stay tight and stay in the streets. See you on May Day.

nothing makes me laugh more than these children. i am thankful to them for the comedy at least, but things could be getting serious (ie they're getting desperate) and it looks as though these occupy heads over the pond are showing their true colours:

 

5 arrested in plot to blow up bridge: http://edition.cnn.com/2012/05/01/justice/ohio-bridge-arrests/index.html (it doesn't say they're Occupiers, but look at them, course they are!)

 

Mayday terror begins: http://frontpagemag.com/2012/05/01/may-day-terror-begins/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+FrontpageMag+%28FrontPage+Magazine+%C2%BB+FrontPage%29

at least seven Wells Fargo bank branches in Manhattan reportedly began receiving suspicious envelopes containing white powder in the mail.

 

“This is a reminder that you are not in control,” an accompanying message read. “Just in case you needed some incentive to stop working we have a little surprise for you. Think fast you have seconds.”

 

Nice people though, we should take them seriously, i bet they have really great ideas to get the economy moving.
