On July 27, workers, descendants of the strikers, and the local labor community came together at Wabun Park in Minneapolis to honor the 90th anniversary of the 1934 Truckers’ Strike that brought Minneapolis to a standstill and served as a spark for radical and militant labor struggle across the country.
The strike lasted about three months, as Teamsters Local 574 truckers demanded a fair wage and official recognition of the union. The trucking companies had the support of the Citizens Alliance, an anti-trade union organization that sought to break the strike. The strike’s impact reverberated throughout the city, bringing much of the Minneapolis economy to a halt.
After reaching an agreement, the trucking companies did not honor the terms and workers returned to the streets. On July 20, 1934, the Minneapolis police attacked and opened fire on picketers in the streets of the Warehouse District. Police shot 67 strikers and killed two, Henry Ness and John Belor. The deadly police attack became known as “Bloody Friday.” On July 24, 1934, about 100,000 people lined the streets to honor Henry Ness’ funeral procession in Minneapolis.

![Anti-Racists Take the Streets Against Far-Right Mobs in London [Vertical] #london](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o85nefW7XpA/hqdefault.jpg "Anti-Racists Take the Streets Against Far-Right Mobs in London [Vertical] #london
A violent and xenophobic race riot ripped through different parts of England from July 30 to August 7. The fatal stabbing of three girls on July 29 in Southport was used by the far-right as an excuse to unleash their hate in the streets of the UK. Anti-racists took the streets in response.
Read the full story: https://unicornriot.ninja/2024/racist-mobs-rampage-england-anti-racists-fight-back/
Misinformation, speculation and false claims on social media about the attacker’s nationality, religion and immigration status created a false narrative that the murderer was a Muslim asylum seeker who had landed recently in England by boat.
Even when the truth was revealed regarding the suspect being a 17-year-old Christian born in Cardiff, the rioters – under the excuse of his African ancestry – broadened their attacks to people of color and minorities.
Timeline of Attacks
July 30: The attacks started in Southport when about 70 people who had originally gathered outside a mosque, soon became hundreds and started attacking the mosque with stones and other projectiles.
July 31: Violence occurred in London, Aldershot, Manchester and Hartpool as hotels housing asylum seekers were attacked among other targets.
August 2: Rioters attacked Black people and clashed with the police in Sunderland and the weekend that followed was the eye of the storm of the fascist insurgence.
August 3: There were riots and petrol bombs in Bristol, Belfast, Hull, Newcastle, Nottingham, Leeds, Manchester, and Stoke-on-Trent. A library was burned in Liverpool and in Blackpool punks attending a music festival confronted the racist rioters.
August 4: Racist mobs appeared in Weymouth, Tamworth, Bolton, Middlesbrough with hooded fascists smashing windows of the homes of immigrants and chanting “there is no black in the union jack.” In Rotherham, the mob tried turned to asylum seekers housed in a Holiday Inn and attempted to burn them alive.
August 5: Last serious riots appeared in Belfast, Darlington, Burnley, Plymouth and Birmingham.
August 6: Situation rapidly de-escalates.
August 7: Anti-fascist mobilizations occur all over England.
The far-right narrative that fueled the racist riots has common characteristics of white supremacy – against immigration and multiculturalism. This outburst of mob attacks took an anti-establishment essence through Euroscepticism and the theory of The New World Order relating to the myth of a lost national pride.
Racist theories like the ‘Great Replacement’ and ‘degeneration of Western civilization’ are important pillars in supporting this agenda. Muslims, People of Color, immigrants, abortions, gender-oriented struggles and the like are demonized and presented as the culture of ‘Woke-ism’ and claimed as the main culprit for the economic decline of big parts of British society who in reality have reached bottom due to the povertization and social cannibalism of neoliberal policies and dismantled social bonds.
This explosive mixture amplified by the mainstream media with no alternative over the last decade has shaped an individualistic nihilism. Especially susceptible are European youth trying to fill a sociopolitical void while following race-war advocates like Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, and Elon Musk who proclaimed “civil war is inevitable” on X, formerly Twitter, the day after the stabbing of the three girls.
Robinson wrote on social media, “Nobody can say they weren’t warned. I’ve been warning about this for years.” Robinson is the co-founder of EDL (English Defense League) an organization in the forefronts of far-right mobilizations in England over the last decade and a distinctive far-right agitator.
“What we’ve seen is far-right influencers stoking a racist minority of this country into targeted violence against Muslims and refugees,“ said Alex Roberts, host of a podcast on the far-right, 12 Rules for What.
A poisonous potion of xenophobia, slow-cooked for years, armed the hands of the rioters.
