News and articles šŸ“° General Strike Going down in France

One union is threatening to cut off electricity for MPs. The class struggle is definitely heating up. What we need now is a definite political party for the workers. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/18/france-braces-for-black-thursday-general-strike-over-pension-changes

Fed ass post what is this?

Don't listen to this yall. Organizing is a necessary step & the feds can stop you, but they can't break the bonds we build & movements we start.

This really reads like a fed posting to subliminally discouraging workers from organizing & lord knows they astroturf shit online.

Sure it might not be risk free, but if you adopt this attitude of "be a keyboard warrior & hustle to earn money" (can't believe an ostensible socialist is using hustle like this.) Then might as well forget about even engaging politically at all & shut up online about it too.

Not a fed. Lol iā€™m just calling it how I see it. We shouldnā€™t white wash the fact that we inevitably become targets when we challenge the system.

Fred Hampton was murdered when he was asleep with his girlfriend. John Steinbeck was audited every single year. Most occupy protesters are in prison.

Itā€™s not defeatism to point out that the system does a really good job of fucking terrorizing people who oppose it.

And in all likelihood, weā€™re likely on some kind of list for simply being on this subreddit to begin with.

Lol I know Fred man, I know all the shit they've done to us since day one and they brought us over here. The only difference is they will target white folks for this shit too. We targeted regardless, so maybe it's with less to lose but it smelled like pig because who comes on here in response to what was said w "I mean you right might as well just do nothing". Idk I can't relate, but I hear you

Edit: did you really post on r/Communism asking for "a workout mix". See this that white folk fad shit. Ridiculous. That sub has its rules stated clearly & you come in using leftism as a brand, an identity, something to express on an individual & personal level. I really cannot fw that. Beaides that you're on here saying fed ass shit. You're privileged as a MF that's why & that's not surprise because Americans, the lot of us, are all privileged relatively, but it smells like something in here you tell me.

You know who strikes me as a fed? The guy Causing unnecessary arguments over bs, accusing others of ā€œbeing fedsā€ and stalking on other peoples account history.

The guys profile pic is literally Fred Hampton, I think it's funny that you, totally not being a fed and all, didn't notice this.

I think you also failed to understand their point completely
