Can General Strikes, Mass Strikes, And People Power Uprisings Provide A Defense Against Tyranny?
Jeremy Brecher’s report on social strikes is a timely contribution to the urgent conversations we must be
having in the movement regarding the probability that, to defeat MAGA authoritarianism, we will need these
kinds of mass actions that exert power through withdrawing cooperation and creating major disruptions.
Brecher draws from international experience and US history, and helpfully discusses laying groundwork,
goals, tactics, organization, timelines, and endgames of such mass actions.
There is no doubt that, as MAGA’s authoritarianism and military invasions accelerate, we need a strategy to
push back.
