The 2021 strike wave refers to a series of ongoing labor strikes in the United States of America, which is indicative of a heightened sense of class warfare inside the imperialist west.[1][2] These demands for better conditions, while not centrally organized by a revolutionary party, could indeed lay the early basis for the establishment of proletarian power over the bourgeoisie dictatorship of the United States.
