Right. I want to organize a massive "walk out" for all leftists all around the world.
Here's my idea; Every kid who is against free trade and globalisation should just stand up and walk out of school or work at a certain time on a certain day. I want people to help me choose a day and a time and to tell everyone they know and put up posters and shit like that.
Anyone in interested?
I don't think enough people would get the message for there to be an effective walkout but certainly propaganda could be spread around
Yeah, I suppose. I deffinetly want to get anti-globalisation posters and propaganda put around schools and at work places, especially schools. I'm 16 and at my school people are so uneducated about things such as free trade. We need to educate people to make them less ignorant.
they already had this nov 2. it was called world cant wait. look it up
Comrade I think this is a Great idea, and I admire your enthusiasm!
Can I make a couple of suggestions?
1) Try stuff smaller scale, like, see if you can just get your school, one of your classes or just as many students as you can to refuse to work on a certain day, rather than a national or international thing. If your lucky the media will turn up and you'll get a chance to spread ideas locally.
How to do this? well, much like you said, posters, stickers leaflets, and unforgettably word of mouth. Sticker producing is easy, so are posters and leaflets. It can be fairly cheap as well. I've done things like this at my college before! And if you need help with design, well, that's what we're here for.
2) For bigger campaigns, get involved with local grassroots groups. Where I live there 2 Socialist parties, a small group of Anarchist Federation members (Myself being one) and a group called RAGE along with scores of other radical individuals. When we want to plan something bigger, we all get together and decide it. I recommend getting in touch with local activists and getting into large campaigns with them. Again If you live in the UK I can pretty much tell you exactly who to get in touch with, If its overseas I can probably do a vague search.
Anyway, hopefully we can help you sort out some cool campaigns and you can let us know how they get on.
Keep in touch and we'll make this work.

"How you cling to your purity, young man! How afraid you are to soil your hands! All right, stay pure! What good will it do? Why did you join us? Purity is an idea for a yogi or a monk. You intellectuals and Bourgeois anarchists use it as a pretext for doing nothing. To do nothing, to remain motionless, arms at your sides, wearing kids gloves. Well, I have dirty hands. Right up to the elbows. I've plunged them in the filth and blood. But what do you hope? Do you think you'll govern innocently?"-Jean-Paul Sartre

"Getting a job, finding a mate, having a place to live, finding a creative outlet. Life is a war of attrition. You have to stay active on all fronts. It's one thing after another. I've tried to control a chaotic universe. And it's a losing battle. But I can't let go. I've tried, but I can't." - Harvey Pekar
I'm going to an anti-WalMart protest on Dec. 1st. Should be fun. I'll post some pictures.
Je ne puis, sans souffrir, faire mal au homme, fût-il mon ennemi.
God, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
when there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
