a resurgence of strikes or are they much better reported through social media than ever before? And even if there are more strikes, where do they actually lead? In the absence of an overarching political objective that large numbers of people could rally around, it seems that striking may yield only short-term benefits. For example, during the Arab Spring, strikes in that context had a clear narrative and observable outcomes (even if short-lived). But, is there such (or any) narrative to speak of at a global level? Afterall, strikes for whatever reason happen every day andwill undoubtedly continue so. In that respect, reading this useful volume leftme pondering if Lenin was right after all about the inadequate role of trade unions as agents of radical change, in the absence of a broader political and persuasive-for-the-many narrative.

罢工复活还是通过社交媒体更好地报道了？即使有更多罢工，罢工实际上将带向何方？在没有大批民众可以聚集的总体政治目标的情况下，罢工似乎只会产生短期利益。例如，在“阿拉伯之春”期间，罢工具有明显的叙事和可观察的结果（即使是短暂的）。但是，在全球层面上有没有这样的（或任何）叙事？毕竟，无论出于何种原因每天都会发生罢工，毫无疑问，罢工将继续如此。在这方面，如果没有更广泛的政治和有说服力的叙述，那么列宁毕竟对工会作为激进变革的推动者的作用不足的思考时，读这篇有用的书就让我思考。
