Hoe wil je nu dat mensen sympathie krijgen voor sociale actie als je hun nieuwsfeeds volpompt met deze berichten aan de vooravond van een driedaagse staking. Om nog maar te zwijgen van de talloze aanhoudende artikelen over hun 'onaanvaardbare' voordelen en de 'gouden kooi' van de vaste benomenig.

Torenhoge defensie-uitgaven en bezuinigingen op sociale zekerheid ondersteunen de kapitalistische orde. Dankzij de genocide in Gaza en de ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ van Trump kan liberale retoriek dit niet langer verhullen.

Europe hates when the Belgian syndicates strikes for the rights of the Europeans simply because as crosspoint, we impact the whole union and usually get shit done. And the strike is (short) against the fascistliberal government. that hunts sick and jobless people, taxes workers instead of the rich

I wonder if the presence of 1600 oil and gas lobbyists at COP30 had anything to do with this? 🤔

Such a symbolic win in the fight against reactionary politics considering Trump threw his weight behind Cuomo and the mainstream Democrats were very coy in their support of Mamdani

Opposition to Trump & co must be based on radical opposition to all forms of oppression

Heading towards a general strike in Belgium at the end of November.

It's the only thing that works in our struggle with the ruling class.

"No kings" doesn't sit right as a slogan as it implies US exceptionalism

The US might not have had kings but it built a political system which gave power to oligarchs and technocrats to protect similar forms of oppression

This is not a democratic alternative to "kings", more an evolution

Last week's anti-austerity manifestation in Brussels was massive, pushing the centrist parties to harden their stance on the government's budget.

Result?

A deadlock and a government in crisis.

Action works! Don't let up!

This Tuesday, the Belgian worker's movement will go out to protest against the governments austerity program.

The right wing in power wants to fund their defense spending spree on the backs of the working class, cutting pensions, social security and labor regulations.

F*ck that! ✊️
