If you can’t watch the entire episode above, here are the main clips I think are worth watching. First, in this clip, I explain that a general strike is the best non-violent way to force regime change outside of voting, and it has become clear that we can’t wait until next November to stop Trump’s regime from attacking us. Also, we can’t “hope and pray” that Trump will allow elections to happen at all, so it’s imperative we start organizing now. Next, I invited Simon Rosenblum-Larson, the leader of Wisconsin’s Fighting Oligarchy Coalition, to teach us all more about what it takes to actually pull off a General Strike. Simon has organized strikes around the world (read his bio in Tuesday’s article), and is the perfect guy to lead Wisconsin as we keep organizing and building a strike coalition. Next, here’s a clip of Simon teaching us about successful strikes in the past, both in Serbia, Egypt, Seattle, and even Minneapolis (before last Friday). It can be done but it takes a LOT of organizing. Finally, Simon explained what you can do in your town to start organizing for America’s General Strike. Given the terror in Minnesota, organizers around the country are working at a breakneck pace to try to strike on Mayday, which is this coming May 1st. We’ll keep everyone updated on this date if it materializes. Thanks for watching and reading, and thanks for sticking with the Minocqua Brewing Company. We ain’t journalists, but we’re working really hard as 21st century “Muckrakers” to cut through the propaganda, explain the news with truth instead of misinformation, and of course, give you the latest from our coalition on how to keep resisting Trump’s violent and corrupt regime. Together, we’ll get through this with truth and action, one beer at a time.
