This is the news we need. Workets in the Italian Docks refuse to keep things running "as normal" while a genocide is being protrayed.

What we need is the news about our movements, workers organisations, our initiatives and us putting our foot down. Let our workers organisations be inspired. Its the next step after all the large marges all over the world. Our true power lies in shutting down the logistics of #capitalism and #war.

Novara Media · Italian Dockworkers Threaten to ‘Shut Down All of Europe’ If Gaza Aid Flotilla Is BlockedA union representing dockworkers at one of the largest ports in the Mediterranean - a key stopping point for Israeli goods - has said it will ‘block everything’ if Israel stops the inbound aid flotilla. Polly Smythe reports.

I'm going to start saying "anticapital" instead of anticapitalist.

Words are loaded, but pro-capitalists who aren't rich are going to tend to think negatively of "capital," money itself, and capital's control of everything. It makes it about the thing, not about the people, so for folks who have had their empathy re-wired to be in favor of rich humans might feel more uncomfortable at the idea of an object, particularly one they believe to be "the root of all evil," being in charge of us.

It's thought-provoking and circumvents the programming.

The modern capitalist cycle in 10 simple steps.

1. Person invents new technology.
2. Rich person buys rights to new technology.
3. Rich person scales new technology.
4. New skilled labor force rises to meet scale.
5. Economy expands.
6. Rich person employs new technology/political influence to destroy skilled labor force to keep more yacht money for themselves.
7. Economy contracts.
8. Rich person uses rich media buddies and bought politicians to blame economic contraction on poor people.
9. Rich person uses "poor person" excuse to politically extract more money from poor people to finance purchase of next new technology.
10. Rinse and repeat.

Continued thread

to the straight and cis workers of the world: you need us and we need you. we have more in common with one another than with the ruling class. our differences of appearance, manner, and the different choices we make with our bodies do not change anything about our class position. we are exploited in the same way, by the same thing: CAPITAL.

dont give in to the propaganda bullshit that blames queer people, today especially trans people, for the ills of your lives! the capitalist media and politicians are robbing you blind while they provoke you!

this pride month, i dont care if you wear a rainbow or walk in a parade, i want you to unite with your queer fellow worker and struggle to overthrow capital!

hey #toronto !

NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR TORONTO is having a public meeting this saturday, 26 april, 4pm at 54 dundas east.

if you watch the governments of all countries increasing their exploitation and brutalization with the aim of pushing us all into a third world war, and that shit pisses you off,

if you are sick of legal union strikes that end with bad deals or get shut down forcibly by the state,

if you are working your ass off and still cant afford housing, medicine, food, or transit,

TALK TO US! (for example, send me a d.m.)

our plan is for workers in all workplaces, industries, whether union or not, no matter what kind of work they do, to congregate, talk, strategize, and fight together to refuse the sacrifices that capital demands us to make. our aim is for those workers to wield their own class power, independent of all capitalist parties, and topple the system that exploits them, putting an end to all imperialist war!
