I spoke to Simone Robutti. Simone works as an organization designer, adversarial researcher, and teacher. Formerly a software developer, he has been part of different chapters of Tech Workers Coalition since 2018. During the interview we discussed how to start a labor union at your tech company, innovative ways to go on strike, and how tech ideology as psyoped you to thinking labor struggle can’t work in tech. We also touched on how technical tools for assisting workers should be used and the role of tech sovereignty in these situations. https://theblockchainsocialist.com/tech-workers-coalition-adapting-the-labor-movement-for-the-digital-age/

Would you guys be interested in me writing down the actual history of the cryptoleft label? Idk how many people are aware of this but it's something I created through the subreddit back in 2018 originally. Of course I don't own the label or anything and it was meant to be open but maybe it'd help some people here?
