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.

Clicking on the find a branch button brings you to a zoomed out map showing chapters around the globe, but I get what you mean where the preview is zoomed in on the US by default :p
That's when the UAW's (a large union) contract ends, so the plan is for all unions to plan the ends of their contracts for the same date.
It is admittedly a long time to wait, but due to how little of the US workforce is unionized, I assume it's to give time to build up more unions and gain momentum?
That'd be a great version for anyone who wants to add two more of their own panels (or other panels from this community, like this No Kings one that Toaster posted) on the other side and make it a booklet! Thanks for makin' it Punksnotdead :D
It'll be interesting to see if we get an influx of users in the next few days!
I'm totally on-board with calling out the rugged ultra self-sufficient individualism, I just didn't want people to come away with the idea that industrial scale farming is the only viable way to farm based on her second tweet. But you're absolutely right that home garden's aren't the best use of resources though. I'd actually forgotten that section of the video, and only remembered the latter part that I linked to until watching it all the way through again just now.
Glad you also enjoyed the vid! He makes some cool stuff ^^
You can break that view of themselves through community efforts - like gardens, allotments, etc
That's precisely what the second page mentions, as well as information on how to find a local Food Not Bombs chapter. These topics are also discussed often on Slrpnk.net, which I encourage readers to take a look at and join, in the hopes of exposing them to more in-depth discussion of those topics and people who they can talk to about it.
The people who are already open to unions are already in them.
Again, in my personal experience in my area, I have met an astonishing amount of people who genuinely have no concept of what a union or general strike are, so for them, the lack of knowledge is most certainly a big barrier.
Ah, I realize now that, at least on voyager, cross posts don't seem to show the post body contents.
If you click through, you'll be able to see the second page (that is supposed to be on the reverse side) that briefly covers community building as well.
I have the general strike as step two since it made sense to explain what it is immediately after mentioning it, and how it goes hand in hand with unionizing.
At least in my area both unions and a general strike are completely unknown concepts to most people I mention it to, so I wanted it to be clear what they are, though I wrote it while fairly sleep deprived, so I'm sure it could've been done better.
Ultimately this flyer is intended to just get people started down a good path. I could only fit so much without it likely becoming overwhelming and not read, and still fitting on a double sided page.
If you know of a pamphlet that would guide people on these topics better than this one, I would welcome changing mine out for that.
Those are proper heat pumps, they have the extra valve. I'm not used to them since my window AC units back when I had them were from the late 80's and mid 90's 😅
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.
