The strike is able to give collective voice to so many kinds of people, precisely because it is rooted in the shared materiality of our precariety. I think that the political problem is how we can build the strike in those conditions. It's not just question of introducing or introducedin the word strike in our political imaginaries or in our political discourses. The problem is, what makes real, to day an strike? And i think that it is also very important in all those conflicts that we have been seeing during the pandemic.
