The Global Mass Strike: May First and Beyond
Sunday, April 16 - 5:00 to 7:00 pm
In Other Words Feminist Community Center, 14 NE Killingsworth St., Portland, OR
Hosted by Workers World Party PDX
Rosa Luxemburg was a Polish-Jewish Marxist anti-war activist and revolutionary socialist. In 1906, she penned The Mass Strike, a book on working class power and strategy for overthrowing capitalism and building revolutionary socialism. This eight-part treatise pulls lessons from the Russian revolution, relying on historical fact as opposed to speculation. Throughout, she rigorously addresses the subject of General Strike and its application in the struggle of the working class worldwide throughout the capitalist era. This information session will cover in brief detail the entirety of Luxemburg's The Mass Strike. After a meet-and-greet, we will start with a presentation of the history discussed in the book. The presentation will include a clip from a present day working class heroine, Teresa Gutierrez. Gutierrez is a Mexican lesbian and leader in Workers World Party who has been at the forefront of May Day demonstrations in New York City for over a decade. From there, we will move onto the analysis of and conclusions arrived at by Luxemburg. Then we will hold break-out discussions on building the struggle for the liberation of the working class and oppressed peoples worldwide beyond May Day. We will conclude by reconvening with discoveries and insights from our discussions. Refreshments will be provided.
In our day-to-day lives, it is difficult for most ordinary people to imagine that we can have a real impact on the way our society is organised.
Mass demonstrations can be an aid in that imagining. Katrina Wallace, a friend who attended the Women’s March in Seattle – her first-ever protest – caught on to this right away. “I never saw the point in it before”, she said. “Standing around waving signs, what could that possibly do? But now I get it. It’s not about what it does to them, it’s what it does to us, how it changes the people who are there.”
Of course, this transformation could be lasting or fleeting, depending on what happens next. Do we channel this energy into electing marginally better candidates, as Democratic Party politicians and many liberal groups suggest, or do we use the opportunity to build the self-organisation of ordinary people – to move from demonstrating our collective power to using it?
In her classic pamphlet The Mass Strike, the Polish revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg talked about this process in the context of the 1905 revolution in Russia, which became known as the “great dress rehearsal” for 1917:
“The most precious, lasting thing in the rapid ebb and flow of the wave is its mental sediment: the intellectual, cultural growth of the working class, which proceeds by fits and starts, and which offers an inviolable guarantee of their further irresistible progress in the economic as in the political struggle … [T]he apparently ‘chaotic’ strikes and the ‘disorganised’ revolutionary action after the January general strike are becoming the starting point of a feverish work of organisation.”

mass strike now because how THE FUCK have I applied to at 200 jobs and only got like 2 callbacks just for them to ghost me or say "we have moved on with other candidates." yet I have been getting telemarketing scams calling & emailing. I have been looking for jobs since January 2024. I redid my resume for the 50th time to add color and business professional hobbies, I hope it works or I'm actually gonna start selling my art & being an actress.
Planned (secret) mass strike. PMS to fuck with a spy bots.
We need to liberate ourselves.
mx. kade We, as a society, have taken so much shit from people with money. We make their products so they can sell them back and forth to each other as they continue to tell us that we can be like them with hard work, even at the expense of people they share their cities with. All of our suggestions for making more money involve either buying into environment-destroying cryptocurrency or…
