Couldn’t agree more Hossam. That they’re even calling it a “general strike” is an insult and it is cheapening. General strike are done by communities and/or workers that are organized at the point of production. A general strike is something that is called by a strong movement, not when struggles are still disparate and in its infancy. Jumping the gun like this might abort what’s been growing the last few years.

I’m really looking forward to your post on Mahalla. It is my opinion that the Mahalla strike was basically hijacked by a few opportunists through posturing. Bandwagoned by Kifaye and the digitally connected few.

Looking forward to the post ya hossam!

and just to say that i don’t understand why the strike would be on Mubarak’s birthday aslan..
let’s not ‘nekhlet el 2omur’ – if the strikes are about exherting economic pressure, or pressure by civil society to call for their rights and entitlements, then let’s keep it always at that..
3id el 3ummal for example would be a relevant day or any other day that can be related to the cause, bas let’s not cheapen the cause kaman by linking it to such an irrelevant ot the idea and the strife.
