Some Critical Notes on the Occupy Movement's Attempt at a General Strike in Oakland, California U.S.A..
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 06/12/2011 - 2:49pmMy personal experience of the Nov. 2nd, 2011 attempted general strike in Oakland was a blast. The event was beautiful and exhilarating -- even the colors in the sky were perfect! More importantly, as the first attempt at a general strike in a U.S. city in sixty-six years, I hope Nov. 2nd in Oakland can stir a long-suffering wage-earning class in the United States to see the collective power we can have when we use a mass-scale workplace walkout as a political weapon against the owners of America.
