"Cancel all student loan debt? But that would be unfair to all those people who struggled for years to pay back their student loans!"
Let me assure the reader that, as someone who struggled for years to pay back his student loans and finally did so, this argument makes about as much sense as saying it would be "unfair" to a mugging victim not to mug
their neighbors too.
-David Graeber, "Debt"

#LaborDay is an official holiday established to divert attention from May Day—the traditional day celebrating workers' resistance.
Bosses and politicians want us to celebrate our labor and productivity. Better we celebrate our collective power to revolt.

For #LaborDay, we recommend "A Tale of Two General Strikes," analyzing the last two citywide general strikes in the United States in order to derive proposals about how to organize a general strike in the 21st century.
https://crimethinc.com/twogeneralstrikes
"Looking at the strikes of the 1940s, we can see that any combative labor resistance that breaks out today will likely emerge in defiance of union leadership rather than because of it. Looking at the general strike of 2011, we can see that to succeed, combative organizing must begin outside the workplace as well as within it, connecting the struggles of the unemployed and precarious with those of the employed. Exploring how the strategies that people experimented with in 2011 have fared in the decade since, we can draw up new proposals about what to bring to tomorrow’s uprisings."

A Sri Lankan anarchist who participated in the Gota Go Gama movement reflects on the lessons of the occupation at the heart of the uprising that toppled president Rajapaksa.
"GGG was Sri Lanka’s first truly leaderless movement."
"Undercover cops and political spies asked us who the leader was... But like Ravanan [the mythical ten-headed demon king of Lanka] the Aragalaya [Sinhala for “struggle”], too, was many-headed."

2021年4月以来，废警主义者和环保主义者一直在为保护佐治亚州亚特兰大一片珍贵的森林而激烈斗争。当地政府计划在这里修筑警察训练设施，并促成兴建一个巨大的电影摄影棚。在下文的分析中，这场运动的参与者记录了一年中的行动，回溯运动的胜利和挫折、并探究影响过它的策略。这场运动代表了乔治·弗洛伊德反抗运动以来（行动者们）开辟新道路的关键努力，它将捍卫我们赖以生存的土地与和针对警察的抗争联系起来。

Relatos de la defensa del bosque de Atlanta
https://crimethinc.com/2022/08/09/bajo-el-hormigon-el-bosque-relatos-de-la-defensa-del-bosque-de-atlanta
En Atlanta (Georgia), el gobierno de la ciudad pretende destruir grandes franjas de lo que queda del Bosque del Río South (Sur) -también conocido por el nombre del río Weelaunee (Muskogee)-. En lugar de una parte del bosque, pretenden construir un complejo de entrenamiento policial; han vendido la parte vecina al ejecutivo de los estudios Blackhall, Ryan Millsap, que pretende construir un gigantesco escenario de sonido. Sin embargo, desde hace más de un año, los y las activistas han protegido el bosque contra sus planes. En un artículo anterior, relatamos cómo empezó esta campaña y las estrategias que la han impulsado; en la siguiente recopilación de relatos, los y las participantes en el movimiento describen sus experiencias y explican qué hace que esta lucha tenga sentido para ellas.

“Unions and management can work together for the benefit of everyone.” -Joe Biden
In fact, if workers have any leverage today, it is only because of the strikes that took place before unions were co-opted to help manage capitalism.
