"...so now I clung to the outworn form of comradeship, though the old comrades called each other traitors."

---Anna Loiuse Strong

From the Strike Kitchen Striking Eat the State!, volunteers, calling themselves the April 1st Movement, are locked in a tedious battle with the jackbooted thugs and other volunteers that regularly help put out ETS!. Since neither the ETS! conglomerate nor the striking faction have the resources to put out a paper on their own, the two sides have agreed that the strike paper and the oppressive management paper will coexist side by side for the duration. The situation is complicated by the fact that many of the volunteers are unable to reach internal consensus and have become conflicted and irritable. The otherwise oppressive management faction itself offers its "ideological support," to the strikers fundamental "right to revolt," but can't figure out what the strike is about. "We've tried to understand our own positions." Says one management hack. "But practically, we can't accept the ideological rigidity. On the other hand, that's the point. Ideologically, we can never accede to the oppressive demands of practicality. So we have called for a strike while we sort it out." The strikers, while thanking management for their "full support," and layout assistance, vow to continue their campaign against the "reactionary Clinton appointed ETS! board" until they achieve a contract no worse than the one they previously rejected.
