Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Across generations, the black thread of anarchy winds through history, binding people together beyond borders, walls, and nations. It reappears again and again, no matter how many times it has been cut, suppressed, or violently torn from the hands of those who carry it. Tracing this thread means stepping into a lineage of rebels, dreamers, and everyday people who faced exile, torture, and loss, yet still planted ideas powerful enough to bloom decades later.This exciting new coloring book by the celebrated anarchist illustrator, N.O. Bonzo, follows that thread: the stories handed down, the victories and defeats, the sparks of hope that refuse to die. It asks what we inherit from those before us and what we ourselves will leave for those who come after. In these pages, the black thread continues its path, inviting you to join it, hold it, and weave your own colorful part of the future. Bonzo, N.O. (ilustrador).…

In a society dominated by corporate power, institutions that give working people real collective leverage are rare. If you want more control over your work, more stability in your life, and more say in the direction of society, unions remain one of the clearest paths forward.This pamphlet tackles the questions people are rarely taught to ask. Why do workers still need unions today What have unions actually won How was the labor movement weakened, and by whom And what does rebuilding working class power look like now Labor 101 was originally published by the Labor Committee of East Bay Democratic Socialists of America during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Labor historian and retired union communications director Fred Glass revises and expands the text for PM Press, offering a concise, accessible guide to why unions still matter and how they can broaden their impact.…
