This has got to stop people. I'm serious. We need to take collective action and do something before this stuff gets out of hand. Anyone got some resources on getting involved?

Talk with UFCW about its efforts to organize Walmart. The idea did occur to them some time ago. If it were at all easy, it would be done by now.

Oh yeah, I'm not suggesting it would be easy to organize Walmart! But if people start pushing back against the anti-union propaganda by discussing it as a viable option in various areas, normalizing it again, that would be a way to help.

Get a copy of The Anarchist's Cookbook, conveniently available at Amazon :)

The author now sees the premise to his own book as 'flawed': https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/dec/19/anarch...
