I’m thinking a general strike and just 1/1000 of the people
If you want a general strike to happen en masse, you need to create an organization to coordinate it. If Occupy Wall Street showed anything, it’s that you need leadership to provide organization and coordination.
One of the things this organization will need to be able to do is put food on the table for someone who’s striking but living paycheck to paycheck. It’ll need to be able to take care of people that are fired.
It would effectively need to brand itself as a citizen’s union, and ask for dues and donations so it can build a war chest for the strike itself.
Shits tough to do. For that much effort, people would rather just go into politics and try to make a difference there. And that is actually something that we need more people to do.
