Richard Wolff & The General Strike U.S.

Many have posted to r/antiwork over past months seeking to organize a general strike, or asking about efforts underway to do so. As is commonly repeated, strikes require organization and solidarity, supported by robust relationships and local interactions. If you are interested in a general strike, and have not yet learned much about the topic, then please consider listening to a discussion between academic Richard Wolff and activist group Moneyless Society. The discussion is longer than some, but addresses a variety of issues relating to the broader topic. If you commute to work, then listening during your commute would help claim back some the time you surrender to the system. About halfway through, after roughly 27 minutes, the conversation shifts from evaluating the reasons for capitalism being inadequate to meet the needs and demands of workers, toward reviewing the challenges associated with organizing general strikes and the efforts underway so far.
