A general strike would be devastating. But we ain't there yet.
Not that I don't love the idea. It requires a robust support network. Start building a small local community that can be self sufficient. Grow food. Make tools. Sell things to neighboring communities.
The owners will still expect rent during a general strike. We have the numbers, they have the funds to we wait us out. They'll do everything they can to make it hurt us more than them.
Fuck you too buddy.
You guys wanna walk off the job don't let anyone stop you. But maybe spend some fucking time preparing?
Are we mad about being prepared to walk off the job now?
Sorry but this line is how the USA fell off the wagon in the first place
nd not only that, you got there on Jan 6
A 1-week strike ahead of the mid-terms would be enough to make the GOP turn on Trump.
But that's over a year out.
All I'm saying is build a support network before calling for a general strike.
Most people can't afford to strike even if they wanted to.
wouldnt the Rs have to strike too, that would be effective. but we know Rs will never strike or protest on thier own.
The R's are stupid and lazy. They don't want to do all the work themselves. They'll fold. Except the rich ones.
