Strike es una película muda de propaganda soviética de 1925 dirigida y editada por Sergei Eisenstein. Originada como una de las entradas de una serie propuesta de siete partes titulada "Towards Dictatorship of the Proletariat", Strike fue una colaboración conjunta entre el Proletcult Theatre y el estudio de cine Goskino. Como la primera película de largometraje de Eisenstein, marcó su transición del teatro al cine, y su siguiente película Battleship Potemkin surgió del mismo ciclo cinematográfico.
“There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, anywhere, any time.”
“Although recourse must always be had first to a sincere dialogue between the parties, a strike, nevertheless, can remain even in present-day circumstances a necessary, though ultimate, aid for the defense of the workers' own rights and the fulfillment of their just desires.”
“Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought. Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder. Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings. Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.”
“I am glad to know that there is a system of labor where the laborer can strike if he wants to! I would to God that such a system prevailed all over the world.”
“Strike not for a few cents more an hour, because the price of living will be raised faster still, but strike for all you earn, be content with nothing less.”
“Although the union leadership may recognize early in negotiations that the firm cannot or will not meet the workers' demands, the rank and file of the union often do not understand the impracticability of their position until after the workers have struck and the firm fails to surrender.”
