: The working people of the world have only to realize that they can claim what rightly belongs to us all, not by taking up arms against a firmly entrenched capitalism (who is SPOILING for a reason to use all this high tech killing apperatus it has). All we need to do is fold our arms and the machine will come to a halt. Violence and murder is their game. Solidarity is all we need.

: Mike, The Everett Citizen

Everett we'd need solidarity across nations and industries there has never been a general strike across the world. What do we do when they wheel in scab labour like in the Dublin Lockout? And when they use their hired armies to shot us down like in the Dublin Lockout, the case of the Mully Maguires or the miners of Bolivia?

The folding of arms has a very necessary place but who is gonna defend you while you do it? Remmber they killed the wobblies leader.
