May 1st
Aka international workers day
It was partially coined in remembrance of the Haymarket massacre when the government and capitalist elites deployed armed forces against workers during a general strike, and also after othet strikes around the world and in the US that gave us the standard 40 hour work week.
Be prepared! A general strike is scheduled for Mayday 2028, with UAW and CTU.
SAVE AND PLAN WHAT YOU CAN!
So that you can strike yourself, and so that you can help your neighbors, your coworkers, your comrades strike!
We’ve got 3 more years to prepare for ~10 critical days. If we are all serious about it and spread the word, and are truly prepared for the event, our demands and thus our conditions will improve greatly!
It is up to us.
Do we choose to accept the working situation we have become entangled in, or are we willing to sacrifice for something better?
Agreed
And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.
I never noticed before, but my internal monolog mispronounced “reining” as “re-ining”, and it makes the meaning much more literal and I like that, also makes “re-ining in” seem redundant
Edit: Doing some light double checking, they do not seem to be fundamentally related
Rein traces back to PIE as *ten: relating to stretching/holding And in traces back to PIE as *en: still meaning in/into/around
