Slrpnk hosts an XMPP/Jabber for our users, mods and admins to communicate. Its worked pretty darn well for the past couple years, with very low resource needs.

The clients are pretty slick now too, such as Cheogram or Monocles for mobile, and movim is an excellent web app with support for group calls.

I'd certainly recommend it over Matrix/element.

It's good practice to try and get as many signatures as possible beyond the 1m mark, as there can be invalid signatures that can bring it back down below 1m after they are counted.

I agree syndicalism is not the answer today.

While I advocate for unionizing with syndicalist unions like the IWW, it's not going to provide a long term solution on its own. I see it as one piece of a larger puzzle.

It helps gain some people a bit of breathing room with something closer to living wages, helps educate people of the power they can wield collectively, and pushes the needle forward in regards to realizing a general strike.

I think what holds it back from being able to achieve victory on its own is that a lot if collective effort us expended toward simply gaining back what is stolen by corporations, and less on community prefiguration. It's also hard to keep members in such a politically diverse umbrella focused on revolutionary class warfare, instead of being satisfied at a certain point of reform or concession from the corporations.

It'd still a useful tool, and one method I haven't really seen tried or described, is the idea of a worker coop actively funding syndicalist unions for their capitalist competitors to make it easier to compete.

Many circumstances had to align for us to be graced with this trifecta of perfection, and I'm rather grateful to be counted amongst its witnesses.

I don't think he adopted a particular flavor, he seemed to be into standard anarchism, far as I can tell. Or at least, what he gathered from the anarchists he spoke to.

The VHS background hiss really just... 🤌

Brings ya back.

I guess the biggest difference this time is that the internet exists, and last time they didn't have a climate crisis that requires the abolishment of capitalism to survive. So, bad news is we're doing a repeat, but good news is the motivation and reasons to defeat fascism have never been higher!

Let's hope we're able to learn from lessons of the past as we find new ways to save ourselves, and the people finally come out on top. We've a got a lot riding on it.

If I had time to redo it, I do think that revised order would be more ideal.

I would be pretty surprised if the current order will render it completely ineffectual at informing people of those concepts, and any who do flip it over and read the poorly named step 3 will find that it recommends building community for a general strike to be successful.

the 1920's and 30's were the height of Anarcho-syndicalism's popularity, culminating in an Anarcho-syndicalist revolution in the city of Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War.

All of the things in the comic are popular trends from the 1920's.

Unironically do love Art Deco aesthetics.
