National General Strike Coordinating Committee

The costs of this system are everywhere. We are anxious, medicated, and isolated—burned out not by labor alone but by the emotional strain of selling ourselves. What was once community becomes competition. What was once introspection becomes content. What was once belief becomes brand identity.

Social media platforms teach us to simulate sincerity, to perform authenticity, to market our suffering in aesthetically pleasing ways. The most vulnerable parts of ourselves—our grief, our joy, our fears—are fed into an endless machine that monetizes attention and extracts data.

The cultural dimension of liberalism’s decline is equally critical. #Liberalism once derived strength from a universalistic narrative of #progress, rationality, and individual emancipation. Today, this narrative has collapsed. Cultural production is increasingly fragmented and commodified,

This ideological paralysis reinforces passivity and resignation. Liberalism, in this context, functions less as an aspirational philosophy and more as a defensive posture against perceived threats— #socialism, #populism, or #nationalism —without offering compelling solutions.

In 1944, the U.S. OSS—precursor to the CIA—published the Simple Sabotage Field Manual to teach ordinary people how to subtly disrupt fascist regimes from within. Its brilliance lies in its simplicity: misfile documents, hold endless meetings, follow rules too strictly, feign ignorance.

"Just as Krupp & IG Farben supported Hitler ... American corporations have provided tacit and overt support for #fascist consolidation. Billionaires fund far-right media ecosystems, think tanks, and political candidates. Major firms continue to profit from carceral labor,

it also undermines the ideological coherence of #liberalism. The marketization of all spheres of life has hollowed out the public sphere, eroded civic trust, and replaced collective political agency with consumer individualism. The classically liberal ideal of

to work, to comply, to cooperate with a regime that seeks to crush us. A general strike is the strongest weapon the people have: a way to bring the machinery of oppression to a grinding halt without firing a single shot.

We are witnessing the methodical destruction of the very foundations of democracy, the rule of law, and human rights. What is happening now mirrors, step by step, the early days of authoritarian regimes throughout history — the rise of the Nazis in Germany,

The truth is plain for all who have eyes to see: the United States is in the throes of a profound and deadly crisis. Judges are being arrested for protecting immigrants. Citizens and migrants are being deported without due process.

#MayDay2025 CALL TO ACTION — ORGANIZE TO STRIKE BACK #Fascism is here—and it’s tightening its grip. The people are silenced. Protest is being criminalized. Communities are surveilled and brutalized. The rich grow richer while the rest of us are forced to suffer, submit, or starve.

Through mass noncooperation, labor withdrawal, and grassroots coordination, we will bring this system to a halt and begin building a new one from below. The general strike begins with you. Start organizing in your community. Join or form a local GSCC.

This is how it begins. With the stroke of a pen, Trump has signed an executive order effectively merging military power with civilian policing. The military is now authorized to operate alongside local law enforcement — not in response to a crisis, but as standing policy. This is not a precaution.

To every worker, teacher, student, nurse, artist, parent, veteran — now is the time to stand up. Not tomorrow. Not after the next election. Now. Organize. Walk out. Strike. Refuse. Resist. They may have weapons. But we have numbers. We have our labor. We have our collective will.

This is not protection. This is #MartialLaw in its embryonic form. Fascism does not announce itself with a bang — it advances through bureaucracy, normalized by silence, enforced with uniforms and guns. What we are witnessing is not security. It is consolidation.
