Teacher strikes and the fight for the common

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Praktyka Teoretyczna journal, we have invited our long-lasting collaborators and comrades to reflect once again on the concept of the common and it’s possible futures by posing the following questions: a) what is the most important aspect of the current struggles for the common?; b) what are the biggest challenges for the commonist politics of the future?; and c) where in the ongoing struggles do you see a potential for scaling-up and spreading organisation based on the com-mon? In his reply, Eric Blanc draws our attention to contemporary teachers strikes as a movement with radical potentiali-ties that greatly exceed merely reversing the privatization process of education.
