Genuinely maddening this article is giving so much stolen valour to ‘ai’ and not the relatives, volunteers, actual historians, and records!
The image is a two-panel meme featuring scenes from "The Simpsons." In the top panel, there is a silhouette of a person smoking a cigarette, with the label "Centrists." The silhouette is dark, and only the cigarette and hand are visible, giving a mysterious vibe.

“Democracy has disappeared in several other great nations, not because the people of those nations disliked democracy, but because they had grown tired of unemployment and insecurity, of seeing their children hungry while they sat helpless in the face of government confusion and government weakness through lack of leadership,” FDR said in a 1938 radio address. “Finally, in desperation, they chose to sacrifice liberty in the hope of getting something to eat.”

Italy has a 35% unionization rate, which is why this sort of thing works. Rather than going "General strike now!!!" on the internet with no organization or context or plans, and rather than assuming general strikes are fake, do the thing that will get us there eventually: Organize your workplace!
