Call for Contributions

We would like to begin this project by working on the concept of the general strike. Can we push for a general strike now? (Of course we can!) What has the historical experience of the general strike been like? Given the contingencies confronting us, and in particular the fact of American decline on the world stage, we think it is reasonable to begin pushing for such an action. However, we also believe that without being supplemented by rigorous thinking and creative invention, any such action is futile. We are tired of marching in the streets to no avail.

Of course, your contribution can be about something else entirely - perhaps other topics related to our orientation interest you. Our intention is not to constrain the types of submissions we receive, but rather to propose a working theme for this project. We cannot determine a-priori which ideas will prove to be crucial in the development of our politics, but we think: why not begin with the notion of the general strike?

Form Backend Transparency: We use Formspree to process submissions. Formspree is a U.S.-based service that may transfer data internationally and could be subject to U.S. legal requests. They do retain submission data and may disclose it to authorities under lawful requests. Thus, using a VPN when uploading your submission may be a good idea (we leave it to you to decide). Additionally, if you have any suggestions for hardening security, feel free to get in touch via sparkmag@pm.me (you are also welcome to send submissions to this email if you would prefer).
