In this episode, Oden and fellow Left Voice member Julia Wallace interview Luca Otello Gieri, a Master's Student in Journalism at the University of Bologna, Italy who is a militant of Frazione Internazionalista Rivoluzionaria and has been active in the movement for Palestine for the past two years. They discuss the powerful worker- and student-led actions in Italy in solidarity with Palestine, including huge strikes and mobilization in September and October, and organizing amid the far-right government of Giorgia Meloni.  Learn More:- “Blocchiamo Tutto!” Strikes and Blockades Paralyze Italy in Solidarity with Gaza- 2 Million People Paralyze Italy in a General Strike for Gaza and the FlotillaLuca is also a contributor to Left Voice's sister site, La Voce delle Lotte.Support Left Voice on Patreon  Follow us on social media!

Machinists on strike at Boeing in the St. Louis area have a federally-mediated agreement that will be voted on by members on October 26, the national No Kings march takes place in Madison with labor support, federal workers who have been shut out from work rally outside the Madison-area Social Security office, national flight attendants union leader Sara Nelson has raised the idea of a general strike as the Trump administration runs wild, the Chicago Teachers Union leads the fight against that city's federal invasion, a worker sues the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for not doing its job, and the attack on immigrant workers is beginning to tank the GDP.

The summing up by Lucia and Fabio that followed question time is included.   Lucia is an Italian scholar of political economy, Marxist theory and labour movements who helps coordinate University and College Workers for Palestine in Britain.

Millions of people in over 2,700 cities and towns took part in No Kings Day protests across the country on October 18th. Organizers estimate that seven million took part, two million more than the same actions in June. From the streets of big cities to the squares and streetcorners of smaller towns, this was one of the biggest days of protest in U.S. history and highlights the vast unpopularity of the Trump administration's pro-billionaire and anti-worker policies as the government remains shut down and social programs continue to be cut but ICE raids won't stop terrorizing our communities.Signs, banners, chants and speeches on Saturday brought forward the call for a general strike as a way to defeat the ultra-right's agenda and to do more - to win back the rights we've lost and win rights we desperately need. Even Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson said at a rally, “If my ancestors, as slaves, can lead the greatest general strike in the history of this country, taking it to the ultra-rich and big corporations, we can the same today!”A general strike involving workers, students and all people from across society could change the course of events, directly challenge the Trump regime's ruthless and racist attacks, and even set the stage for a revolution. What would it look like and how would we get there? We'll talk about all that today.But first, last week we talked about how the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado was opening the door for renewed US military action against the Venezuelan revolution and government of Nicolás Maduro. Just a few days later, the Trump administration then said that it had authorized additional strikes on Venezuela, including on land, after it had already attacked six Venezuelan boats in international waters. Trump also announced that he has approved CIA covert actions in the country. While it's long been known that the CIA has been a tool in attempting to overthrow Venezuela's revolution under both Chávez and Maduro, the announcement of the use of CIA operations for regime change is unprecedented.Support the show

On Saturday, October 18, millions of people are expected to take to the streets for what is known as No Kings Day. The Trump White House and right wing governors around the country are treating people in the United States who engage in protest and dissent against the government's policies as enemy combatants rather than people exercising their First Amendment right to free speech. Brian and Layan discuss the General Strikes of 1934 in US cities, and the mass movement of 2006, in an examination of effective tactics and movement building that can succeed in defeating Trump's ultra-right agenda.This is a preview of a patrons-only episode.

The Wall Street Journal provides evidence that the Ukraine war is a proxy war between the US and Russia. The Trump Administration's attempt to takeover DC is part of the attempt to end the semblance of bourgeois democracy in the United States. Don't we need socialized healthcare, not “Medicare for All”? What do we do to stop the federal takeover of more U.S. cities? Do protests even work? How can we as socialists help merge, and lead, the labor and mass movements? Why is Russia not an imperialist country?

In 1903, Philadelphia was one of the textile manufacturing centers of the United States, but conditions in the mills were abysmal, with men, women, and children all facing long hours, low wages, and dangerous machinery. With the help of Mother Jones and other labor leaders they marched out in a general strike. Originally aired: May 30, 2023. Support the showwww.laborjawn.com

Synopsis:  In a call to action, Sara Nelson, President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO, urges workers to move beyond defense and set the agenda for change, declaring "our world is burning" but asserting that collective power can be used to create a better future.Stay informed and engaged! Don't miss out on our captivating weekly episodes that dive deep into the heart of our economy, culture, and politics from the past to the present. Please hit the podcast subscribe button if you've yet to subscribe.Description: Sara Nelson knows how to leverage worker power — and so do the 55,000 flight attendants she represents. A union member since 1996, she's been the International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO since 2014. You may remember her integral role in threatening a strike, which helped pressure the Trump administration to end the 2019 government shutdown. But under the second Trump term, the administration plans to gut many government agencies and has canceled one million contracts for federal workers so far. “We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next,” she tells Laura Flanders in this exclusive interview. “So we have to rush to each other's sides.” In this episode, Nelson and Flanders explore labor movement tactics and strategies, wins and losses, and why general strikes and cross-industry worker solidarity are critical in this moment. What is her message and her mission for 2025? All that, plus a commentary from Laura on floods and profits.“We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next. So we have to rush to each other's sides. But we can also turn this around and not just be on defense. . . We are in a crisis. Yeah. Our world is burning. We can actually set the agenda and make things better.”Guest:  Sara Nelson: International President of the Association of Flight Attendants- (AFA-CWA) (representing 55,000 Flight Attendants at 20 airlines)  Watch the episode released on YouTube July 18th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel July 20th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

India's ten central trade unions – barring the Sangh-affiliated Bharatiy Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) came together to call for a general strike in July 9. Workers from banking, insurance, postal, mining, construction, and transportation sectors have pledged their support to the strike and are expected to participate in big numbers.  According to the Union spokespersons, the strike is in protest against the government's anti-worker policies and specifically also against the amendments to the 29 labour laws and the newly introduced labour codes.  But these amendments and labour codes happened quite some time ago. Why is the strike being called now? What exactly are the demands of the unions? And what is likely to be its impact?  Guest: A.M. Jigeesh from The Hindu's Delhi Bureau.

Episode 339 of RevolutionZ has as its Guest Lucy Hicks from the General Strike US project to share her insights on building a decentralized movement aimed at mobilizing millions Americans for a general strike to "transform our economic and political systems." We discuss the challenges and strategies involved in creating nationwide labor and social solidarity during increasingly mind numbingly disturbing political times.General Strike US formed in 2022. It is currently focused on political education, building regional chapters (it has 37 so far), and growing a strong foundation. What have been its experiences to date? What lessons does it convey? Where is it headed? In addition to conversing about this project, episode 339 addresses the experiences and current mindsets and inclinations of Generation Z's members including Lucy herself. Where are they at? How have the pandemic imposed school at home and isolation, restrictive and declining life options, and antagonistic social media involvements impacted their lives? What obstacles from loneliness and isolation to fear and alienation, among others,  limited or advanced radical or reactionary inclinations and collective organizing? How do Lucy and others approach the problem of moving from the currently largely narrowly individualist orientation of their peers to a collective response to their plight? As of now, over 340,000 Americans have signed their "strike commitment cards" pledging to participate when the time comes. Will that climb to millions and If so, by what path will it happen? How will young people who are angry and even outraged, scared and even desperate come together to propel a resistance that can defeat Trumpism and then continue on to win a fundamentally better society?Support the show

The Trump Administration is demanding the revocation of visas for all Chinese students. The courts challenge Trump's tariffs. Is a ceasefire in Gaza coming? Can a general strike happen in the US?

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the painting of minis, from Ral Partha to Ralidium. In the news, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) will likely (and justifiably) strike, here's a starting point if you are interested in the dynamics of a broader anti-fascist General Strike, and the Twitter AI is obsessed with defending South African white supremacists.Related LinksForum ThreadPainting MiniaturesDiscord ChatPainting MiniaturesBluesky PostPainting MiniaturesThings of the DayRym - The Violent World of Football UltrasScott - KUNG FURY 2 FILTRADO!

There's been an increase in the number of organizers, activists, and organizations calling for a national strike in the United States to combat the fascism and violence we face at the hands of our government. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “What would a general strike in the US actually look like?” by Jeremy Brecher in Waging Nonviolence, which analyzes the concept of a social strike as a strategy to disrupt the normal operations of society and to resist and defeat the tyranny of the current administration and government, and what we learn and take away from this great piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.

We have another transit heavy episode this week. First we start with our headlines including Alaska Airlines Flight Attendants, East Coast Dockworkers, Maine DOT workers, and Italian transit workers. In our main stories we start with this week's strike by 60,000 healthcare workers at the University of California. Next, we discuss this past Friday's massive one day general strike by workers in all sectors across Greece. Attacks on trans folks have hit a fever pitch, we discuss how healthcare workers across the country are standing up for trans rights. The mass firing of federal workers continued this week, as did the early stages of a fightback. Finally, we discuss the continued efforts by workers at Delta, both on board and on the ground, to finally unionize.
