These so-called “strikes” lack the backing of organised workers, socialist parties, and real trade unions. They’ve hijacked our language while pushing an agenda that doesn’t represent the working class.

We won’t let them march unchallenged into our cities, masquerading as the voice of labour. It’s time to show them what real workers’ power looks like.

  • Raise this in your union meetings, trades councils, and leftist orgs.
  • Organise against these right-wing LARPers.

WE DEMAND:

  • Fair pay for all workers
  • Decent housing for the many, not profit for the few
  • Fully funded public services
  • Fight the bosses—not migrants!

    So do nothing? This ‘great British strike’ is happening across the country. Unions and organised workers must intervene and if it turns out to be a false flag then at least the experience will act to further politicize workers in collective struggle. But if it isn’t a false flag, we will be there to counter it.

      I’m not speaking against anything, I’m just commenting on the unavoidable political costs inflicted by having to fight those crooks

        I can appreciate that, we do need to pick our fights as the right tend to pick demos out of a hat and sometimes no one turns up other times, everyone turns up.

        We are at the start of the summer, we had a very successful farmers demo backed by the right (anti Immigration, anti marxist, jewish conspiracy types, I spoke with them) in Exeter last month, I can see this being successful if not more so as their social media suggests, the farmers also organised a zoom call yesterday evening.

        So I feel confident that this will be a worth while endeavour.

        And again, we need to politicise the trade unions and the workers, after 14 years of Torry rule, the working class have faced devastation which has effected the capability of the union movements but we are now seeing a slow growth and we need to keep socialist ideas front and centre, counter demos are a great way to do that, we can win people over, we can recruit to our party’s, and trade unions can show their purpose making union tangible.
