Learn about the history of social strike resistance to tyranny around the world; the lessons of the Minneapolis “Day of Truth and Freedom”; the role of organized labor; and how to use social strikes to establish government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Jeremy Brecher’s newest report, co-published by the Labor Network for Sustainability and Z, addresses the increased authoritarian threat under Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, characterized by executive overreach, suppression of dissent, and the use of state and vigilante violence.
In response, Brecher asserts that the country must look beyond conventional means and consider social strikes — large-scale, nonviolent withdrawal of cooperation, which has brought down authoritarian regimes around the world. He defines social strikes as mass actions that make society ungovernable by disrupting not just workplaces, but all political and social structures that enable tyranny. By citing international and US examples, the report outlines how such strikes have been organized, what tactics they use, and how they might serve as a last line of defense if democratic institutions are further eroded.
While success is never guaranteed, understanding these methods is essential to resisting a potential MAGA dictatorship.
