apologies for the trot article, but they were the top result I saw in English that was free and not the BBC

looks like the government is trying to pass a 50-hour work week, lift a ban on outsourcing, end a law that forces rehiring workers who were wrongfully terminated, and expand the list of services that must remain open during strikes amongst over 100 changes

Portuguese Communist Party article on it. I'm in Lisbon this week so I'm ready to get my class solidarity on! The main demonstration starts in a couple hours.

Why are Trotskyist articles bad? Would you not prefer it over liberal ones?

[-] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 week ago

i do prefer them over liberal articles for sure

Imo they tend to be even more distorted than liberal ones. Like, you can be reading a trot article and they'll tell you why a thing is bad based on a line struggle from the 70s, but they won't tell you what actually happened. I'll take liberals who lie through emphasis but at least usually tell you what actually happened and have a bias that maps into modern political lines I'm more familiar with.

It's only a national general strike. We should do a general general strike.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
