Episode notes
Solidarity Undermined
- We've been raised in a highly individualistic capitalist society.
- This has structurally removed opportunities for developing solidarity.
Ancient Roman Strike
- Ancient Roman plebs organized the first strike by leaving the city and coordinating efforts.
- This historical example demonstrates the power of collective action.
