E10: General Strike—with a Myanmar comrade on their evolving revolution

from TROUBLEMAKERS · host Beautiful Trouble

“Win or lose, mass strikes reveal the truth.” —Jeremy Brecher   In this episode, we dive deep into how general strikes are happening in Myanmar (also known as Burma). Our guest explains how as a collective, the citizens are conducting their strikes in demand for an end to the military coup and the release of their leaders. We consider how the people of Myanmar have been able to outlast repression and maintain momentum for more than three years since the coup was initiated.   Check out the General Strike Tactic and learn how you can use general strikes to effectively achieve political demands. Our podcast is inspired by the Beautiful Trouble toolbox!
