That was a pretty solid demo! 🟥
A demo where I:
- said no to budget cuts;
- said hi to colleagues from Tilburg, Utrecht, Amsterdam, Nijmegen, Groningen. 🙌🏽
Many students attended, next to junior and senior academic staff. I do wonder how many UAS colleagues there were: the only flags, banners and hoodies I saw were from research universities. C'mon hbo, let's #organize! #woinactie
@Vonskinnback @SylvieLorxu @nileane The only way we deal with unchecked power and wealth is that we finally organize to beat #capitalism.
Capitalism, like kings, is a temporary human creation. It may seem permanent or unbeatable, it is not. It will have an end because it cannot be sustained. The question is will we come together and fight it.
The vast majority, the working class, we are the ones that save us. #Organize #labor #unions and communities to build real #democracy and #socialism.

Capitalism has been waging war on the working class for 100+ years. This is #classwar. It really is that simple. They will take and take and take. And then take more.
And then they will take more until you are dead. The vast majority of the US is #workingclass but we mostly stopped identifying as such. We also stopped fighting. We stopped organizing.
#Capitalism is the problem. And they keep power without a challenge. We have to #organize where we work.

"Corporations far beyond Starbucks want to keep baristas out of unions...
...Starbucks is a trend-setting global powerhouse and one of the top U.S. employers. Current fights at places like Starbucks and Amazon will shape the labor movement for decades to come..."

Guess I picked the wrong week to join the Democratic Socialists of America?
"Last week, Bondi sent a memo to all federal prosecutors and law enforcement agencies targeting a wide range of people, including those who hold what she calls, quote, “extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology,” “anti-Americanism,” “anti-capitalism” or “anti-Christianity,” unquote."

"There is nothing more despicable and dangerous than a mercenary. When you join ICE, you become a threat to your community and a traitor to humanity. Once people see you with ICE, you’re going to have to wear that mask every day for the rest of your life...
Those who know the history of fascism know how this story goes. They begin by locking undocumented children in cages—and end by locking your children in cages."

Tax the billionaires? Without a functional democracy that won't happen.
I recently joined the Democratic Socialists of America and invite you to do the same. Millions of us are deep in #poverty and yet we're not #organizing for our self interest the way that we should be. That's been true for decades. If we want real #democracy we are going to have fight #capitalism directly. We have to #organize in our workplaces and communities.

#OtD 23 Nov 1912 anarcho-syndicalist union, Unione Sindacale Italiana, was founded in Modena mainly by radical metal workers, builders, farm workers and miners. It played a key role in both the factory occupation movement and anti-fascist resistance https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9595/unione-sindacale-italiana-founded
