In April 2023, the world is ablaze with workers’ collective anger and collective action. A global strike wave on a scale not seen since 1968 is sweeping Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. In France, Germany, the UK, Iran, Israel, Sri Lanka, Peru and elsewhere, repeated general strikes have mobilized millions of workers in the past month. On a single day, March 27, there were simultaneous general strikes in France, Germany and Israel, while in the previous history of the workers’ movement there have never been even two simultaneous general strikes.
