1912 saw one of the biggest battles in New Zealand labor history, a six-month-long miners’ strike that paved the way for the general strike a year later. But it couldn’t have lasted so long without the working-class women who organized to defend their community — the “Scarlet Runners” who fought the strikebreakers.
The socialist magazine Mot Dag trained some of Norway’s key public figures, including three Labor Party prime ministers and the cofounder of the World Health Organization. Their experience shows how left-wing media can build a socialist common sense in wider society — and help socialists in parliament resist establishment kickback.
