<p>On February 15, A Radical Guide sat down with organizers from General Strike U.S. to talk about what it takes to build a movement that holds together — through uncertainty, across distance, and toward something bigger than any single action.</p><p>General Strike U.S. is a decentralized grassroots movement organizing toward a nationwide general strike. They work through local chapters focused on mutual aid, strike preparedness, and community engagement, anchored by the “Strike Card” — a pledge that activates once participation reaches 3.5% of the U.S. population, a threshold historically tied to successful nonviolent movements. It’s a long-game strategy, and it demands the kind of organizing that keeps people together while building toward collective power.</p><p>Daii organizes with the Michigan Chapter, bringing a Detroit-rooted commitment to self-reliant communities and collective resilience. Eliza Blum facilitates the NYC Chapter and comes out of SEIU and the Fight for $15 campaign, where she learned to channel grassroots energy into collective action.</p><p>Together they share what their chapters are doing on the ground, how they’re building solidarity across a national network, and what they’ve learned about sustaining movements through uncertainty. We dig into what survival looks like when you’re doing mutual aid with limited resources, how chapters stay connected and accountable to each other, and how local organizing fits into a strategy for mass collective action.</p><p>A Radical Guide is a movement partner of General Strike U.S.</p><p></p>

<p>If movements reject hierarchical power, what do they build in its place?</p><p>In Episode 3 of A Podcast for Radicals, we explore prefigurative politics—the principle that we create the world we want through how we organize today. The future society isn't something we build after winning; it's something we practice now.</p><p><br></p><p>We examine how worker cooperatives, community land trusts, consensus decision-making, and mutual aid networks embody liberation in the present. </p><p>We look at real-world movements putting this into practice: Cooperation Jackson building economic democracy in Mississippi, and Argentina's recuperated workplaces, where workers have run factories without bosses for over twenty years.</p><p>We also confront what happens when these alternatives face attack—and how radical language gets co-opted by forces working against liberation.</p><p>In this episode:</p><p>→ Prefigurative politics: what it means and why it matters</p><p>→ How specific practices embody the vision of liberation</p><p>→ Cooperation Jackson's model of interlocking cooperatives</p><p>→ Argentina's worker cooperatives and current attacks</p><p>→ The difference between genuine anarchism and "anarcho-capitalism"</p><p>→ What repression teaches us about building alternatives</p><p>This episode is part of the "Means and Ends in Radical Action" series from A Guide for Radicals.</p><p>Resources:📖 Read the full chapter: https://www.radical-guide.com/a-guide-for-radicals/</p><p>🌐 Explore more: https://www.radical-guide.com</p><p>Support our work: https://www.radical-guide.com/ways-to-support/</p><p>If this content resonates with you, consider supporting A Radical Guide.

<p>What makes authority legitimate? And what does it mean to reject the logic of power?In this episode, we explore why radicals reject hierarchical domination, the difference between "power over" and "power with," and how movements practice horizontal organizing at a massive scale.We draw on the anarchist tradition - Bakunin, Kropotkin, Malatesta - to understand why revolutionary movements that centralize power often reproduce the domination they claimed to oppose. And we examine what legitimate authority actually looks like: mutual, temporary, and voluntary.The episode features Brazil's Landless Workers' Movement (MST), which coordinates 1.5 million participants across 23 states through collective leadership, consensus decision-making, and structural gender equity - all without a permanent leadership class.In this episode:→ The anarchist critique of hierarchy→ "All Power to the People" - what it actually means→ Power over vs. power with→ What makes authority legitimate (and illegitimate)→ The MST and Zapatistas as models of horizontal organizingThis episode is part of the "Means and Ends in Radical Action" series from A Guide for Radicals.Resources:📖 Read the full chapter: https://www.radical-guide.com/a-guide-for-radicals/🌐 Explore more: https://www.radical-guide.comSupport our work:https://www.radical-guide.com/ways-to-support/If this content resonates with you, consider supporting A Radical Guide.
