@bikrumsinghgill has theorized Iran's resistance to the US-Israeli war as "the first anti-imperialist war" because it has challenged imperialism not only at the level of one state, but at the "world-systemic scale through which imperialism imposes dependency", changing the basis on which capital flows across the entire region.
I am thinking a lot about this in the context of tomorrow's global day of action, which could very well be described as the first major anti-imperialist strike. The mobilization is uniting workers across the Global North and the South. It is explicitly challenging the terms on which imperialism wages war, which depends on the control of transnational logistics chains that cannot be disrupted in any single territory in isolation.
For that reason, the scale of the action feels like a significant development in the urgent struggle against imperialism’s rapidly escalating global war.
NEW: On Friday, dockworkers at 111 ports in 22 countries and regions on five continents will stop work in a coordinated strike against war, according to the most recent information from the organizing unions.
More than 25 dockworkers’ unions have now signed on, from Marseille to Mumbai, Hamburg to Montevideo, Melbourne to Oakland. Days ago the count stood at about 100 ports in 17 countries, and that figure doesn’t include the dozens of unions in other sectors that have pledged support. Their demand is simple: no weapons and no military cargo through their ports. Nearly everything the world ships passes through the docks, and without the workers who load and unload it, nothing moves.
In France, the main dockers’ union says the country’s ports will be 95% shut. Italy, India, Greece and Turkey face 24-hour strikes, and Morocco and Cyprus will see stoppages of up to two hours, with rallies planned in port cities around the world. In Greece, metalworkers, ship-repair workers and young people are joining the dockers, and in the US, ILWU Local 10 is striking in Oakland and San Francisco. The unions are working from the Istanbul Declaration, signed in May, with each one deciding for itself how to take part. They are also fighting for their own jobs, against cuts from automation and for contracts, raises, shorter hours and safety.
The unions point to escalating wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and the danger of a generalized war. They condemn Israel’s new crimes in Hebron, carried out with the backing of the US, NATO and the EU. Israel’s lockdown of the city is now in its sixth day, with more than 3,000 Palestinians displaced, according to the UN. Palestinian unions have endorsed Friday’s action.
In Italy, the fight has spilled beyond the docks. The union USB has called for a nationwide general strike. Last night, the Italian government ordered transport workers back on the job last night. USB said it would defy the order and accept the steep penalties.
The unions are calling on workers and young people everywhere to stand with the dockworkers, saying “Ports for peace and the peoples, not launching pads for war.”
I’m reporting from Calabria, Italy, and I will be in Genoa tomorrow ahead of the strike to report on the ground during the mobilzation.
B-Rabbit in his last rap battle in 8 Mile. It was a valuable lesson.

Started Mobland S2. How has Jan been honeypotted by someone in each season? How can you have zero sense of awareness knowing what your husband does for a living?
