On the May Day General Strike

An evening of screening and open discussion about the May Day General Strike. We invite academics, activists, anarchists, anti-capitalists, architects, artists, assistants, autonomists, cineastes, facilitators, filmmakers, gallerists, geeks, hackers, hipsters, immigrants, interns, the media, negotiators, nerds, New Yorkers, occupiers, the poor, precarious, protestors, rioters, servants, students, teachers, terrorists, and anyone else to share thoughts about the Occupy movement's recent call for General Strike, the spatial tactics of civil disobedience, and related organizing efforts. This event aims to further understand the potential and consequences of the coming general strikes, May 1st and beyond. 

hey Zach asked about anarcho-syndicalist texts after Goldman's article we read, randomly surfing teh interwebs I came across this piece by russian anarcho-syndicalist Maksimov, probably an important document for this trend:

Personally I think it's significant that anarchists like Malatesta were already skeptical of a revolutionary workers movement in the 1920s! That is when unions were actually much more militant. His position is quite subtle though, it's here:

I think Bookchin summarized some of the complaints of "anti-syndicalist" anarchists well:

"These Anarchists saw in syndicalism a shift in focus from the commune to the trade union, from all of the oppressed to the industrial proletariat alone, from the streets to the factories, and, in emphasis at least, from insurrection to general strike."

hey some might be interested, new version of Theory of Bloom being put out by Little Black Cart, new anarchist publisher:

Some comrades in Baltimore put together this interesting reading list to study Occupy-related stuff:

Here's Virno on the virtuoso.
