I just heard a story that you never hear about in the mainstream capitalist media and that is that Puerto Rico has recently had a General Strike. Apparently a huge percent of the population, about five percent participated in a mass demonstration and there was some sort of work stoppage.
The General Strike was apparently a response to the cutbacks that are being imposed in Puerto Rico during Great Depression II. Even worse is the fact that public employees are being fired and are being replaced with private contractors across the board. In Puerto Rico you would never know that there was hope for anyone but the neoliberals and oligarchy.
I think I need to learn more about how the workers of Puerto Rico are working together.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a United States general strike or a General Strike in California or a number of states?
