The Class Struggle Isn’t Jewish Folks… It’s Reality!
UAW G-M Flint Sit-Down Strike
The 1936–1937 Flint Sit-Down Strike changed the United Automobile Workers (UAW) from a collection of isolated locals on the fringes of the industry into a major labor union and led to the unionization of the domestic United States automobile industry.
Organizing Flint was a difficult and dangerous plan. GM controlled city politics in Flint and kept a close eye on outsiders. As Wyndham Mortimer, the UAW officer put in charge of the organizing campaign in Flint, recalled, when he visited Flint in 1936 he received a telephone call within a few minutes of checking into his hotel from an anonymous caller telling him to get back where he came from if he didn’t “want to be carried out in a wooden box.”
GM also maintained an extensive network of spies throughout its plants. Mortimer concluded after talking to Flint autoworkers that the existing locals, which had only 122 members out of 45,000 autoworkers in Flint, were riddled with spies. Accordingly, he decided that the only safe way to organize Flint was simply to bypass those locals. Mortimer, Eric Branoff, Roy Reuther, Henry Kraus and Ralph Dale began meeting with Flint autoworkers in their homes, keeping the names of new members a closely guarded secret from others in Flint and in UAW headquarters.
As the UAW studied its target it discovered that GM had only two factories that produced the dies from which car body components were stamped: one in Flint that produced the parts for Buicks, Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles and another in Cleveland that produced Chevrolet parts. The union planned to strike these plants after the New Year, when Frank Murphy would become Governor of Michigan.
Events forced the union to accelerate its plans, however, when the workers at Cleveland’s Fisher body plant went on strike on December 30, 1936. The UAW immediately announced that it would not settle the Cleveland strike until it reached a national agreement with GM covering all of its plants. At the same time the union made plans to shut down Fisher # 1 in Flint.
On December 30, 1936 the Union learned that GM was planning to move the dies out of Fisher # 1. Travis[who?] immediately called a meeting at lunchtime at the union hall across the street from the plant, explained the situation, then sent the members across the street to occupy the plant. The Flint sit-down strike began.[1]
In a conventional strike the union takes its members outside the plant and attempts to prevent the employer from operating by discouraging other employees from entering. In a sit-down strike, the workers physically occupy the plant, keeping management and others out.
The Flint sit-down strikers did just that, electing their own “Mayor” and other civic officials and maintaining the plant throughout the strike. The union kept up a regular supply of food to the strikers inside while sympathizers marched in support outside.
A state court judge issued an injunction ordering the strikers to leave the plant. The UAW investigated, and they discovered that the judge held roughly $200,000 in GM stock, which disqualified him from hearing any case involving GM.
The police attempted to enter the plant on January 11, 1937. The strikers inside the plant turned the fire hoses on the police while pelting them with car parts and other miscellany as members of the women’s auxiliary broke windows in the plant to give strikers some relief from the tear gas the police were using against them. The police made several charges, but withdrew after six hours. The strikers dubbed this “The Battle of Bulls Run,” a mocking reference to the police (“bulls”).
At the time, Vice President John Nance Garner supported federal intervention to break up the Flint Strike, but this idea was rejected by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
GM obtained a second injunction against the strike on February 1, 1937. The union not only ignored the order, but spread the strike to Chevrolet Plant #4. To avoid tipping its hand, the union let it be known in the hours before the move that it intended to go after another plant in the complex, only changing directions at the last minute. GM, tipped off by an informant within the UAW, was ready and waiting for the union at the other plant and caught completely off guard at Plant #4.
That development forced GM to bargain with the union. John L. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers and founder and leader of the CIO, spoke for the UAW in those negotiations; UAW President Homer Martin was sent on a speaking tour to keep him out of the way. GM’s representatives refused to be in the same room as the UAW’s, so Governor Frank Murphy acted as courier and intermediary between the two groups. Governor Murphy sent in the US National Guard, not to evict the strikers, but rather to protect them from the police and corporate strike-breakers. The two parties finally reached agreement on February 11, 1937 on a one-page agreement that recognized the UAW as the exclusive bargaining representative for GM’s employees who were members of the union for the next six months.
As short as this agreement was, it gave the UAW instant legitimacy.The UAW capitalized on that opportunity, signing up 100,000 GM employees and building the union’s strength through grievance strikes at GM plants throughout the country. In the next year the UAW saw its membership grow from 30,000 to 500,000 members. As later noted by the BBC, “the strike was heard ’round the world.”
These real men were heroic, model citizens that took a stand against these White sell-out Capitalist JEW Inspired Greedy Bastards exploiting the life blood and labor from our fellow man!
Fuck Jewish Capitalism!

PROPAGANDA HIT PIECE FROM PBS
Listen to the half-literate hick they propped up there to shit all over this union. The idiotic brainwashed Christian Conservatives have done nothing but work against their own interests!
Down here in Australia the original labour movement was organized by and for the white man only. They made no secret of it. You only have to read Frank Anstey’s “Kingdom of Shylock” (available on the Australian Nationalist website) to see that. It was the Australian Labor Party that cultivated Australian nationalism and it was the early ALP that instituted the White Australia policy that kept non-whites out of the country until 1973 when that sell-out POS Gough Whitlam overturned it. That’s real Australian history, not the textbook bullshit they feed you in school and on the TV. That was the original fight against capitalism. It’s a pity that the whole movement got white-anted and sold out.
But you know capitalism can be beaten. I think the majority of people who have woken up still see no way out. They see these huge monolithic banks and corporations as invincible. After all, haven’t they got complete control of the government and the judiciary? Hell, they even own the culture. But jew capitalism has its Achilles heel, a major weakness: and that weakness is that they NEED us to feed on. So don’t feed them, and tell anybody who will listen not to feed them – it’s really very simple. We could end this in two weeks if we really wanted to; collapse the whole stinking system into a heap without a single arrest or shot being fired. How? By not buying into their shit, that’s how. By not buying their cheap Chinese-made shit at the mall; by not taking out that loan or using that credit card; by not buying their porn, or their Hollywood filth and lies, and by not listening to their TV or lying newspapers. A corporation that can’t do business will fail; a bank that cannot lend at interest will fail. By the end of the first week they’d be running around like headless chickens; by the end of two weeks the system would fall. What could they do? They can’t force you to go shopping at gunpoint can they? They can’t arrest you for not taking out a loan to buy a cheap Korean car can they?
You’re right. A massive boycott of the system could produce good results, but there aren’t enough people thinking for themselves.
Here in Portugal there is absolutely no tradition of a white working class struggle, due to historical and cultural reasons, only an anti-white communist party that you can put in the same bag with the south african ANC and the angolan MPLA.
Anti-white on all possible accounts, and as hypocrite as it can be, wouldn’t them be followers of Mordechai Levi! I don’t know if they have
a motto, but it should be “do as i say, don’t do as i do”! I can see John
Jewel also got acquainted with this kind of outfit!
The solution for the white working class is defently not jewish-marxism,
but if whites can’t associate anywhere and openly stand for their race without being hammered big time by the system, i don’t see any solution but armed revolution. I mean, i don’t see us getting out of this mess by voting or demonstrating. I wish everything could be solved peacefully. A giant boycott and strike, if it could be done, could be a way of slaying the beast, or at least force it to deal.
