Solidarity Knows No Borders
Posted March 28, 2011 by nicolas_lampert in Art & Politics
I created this graphic in response to the events of 2011 which connects the Mideast to the Midwest: the people's movements in Tunisia, Egypt, and Wisconsin.
Listing only three locations is an oversimplification as we all know that movements are taking place in other countries and states, but these three locations have become symbolic - much in part to the global media attention. Many of us in Wisconsin were humbled and overjoyed when we heard that demonstrators in Egypt were holding signs in solidarity with us in Madison.
This type of solidarity views the world in terms of class, not nationality. A struggle between the working class and the upper class, not nation against nation. The IWW had it right in the 1910s when they called on workers of the world to unite and form one big union. Solidarity Forever.
