Again: I do NOT endorse the 6 April ‘general strike’

Posted on 23/03/200908/01/2021 By 3arabawy

Here we again.. The 6th of April Youth are renewing their Facebook call for a “general strike” amid sensational media coverage both locally and internationally. While I respect the sincere intentions of those who are calling for this “general strike” I will NOT endorse it. Why? My reasons for not endorsing the April 2008 call (and the ensuing ones, how many were they? three or four “Facebook general strikes”? I lost count!) remain unchanged in April 2009.

    Oh God, not that bollocks again. When will the upper and middle class kids learn that it takes actual on the ground organizing to make a general strike. And not just that, a general high level of workers’ militancy – and that’s just not the case yet. Again it will most likely do more harm than good.
