It sucks, but we aren’t getting rid of the fascists over the weekend. They’re in this for the long haul, and we need to be strategic about when and how we proceed. A general strike is a HUGE offensive in the fight, and it needs to be planned well. If we just mass buy shit before and after it doesn’t do anything.
Targeted boycotts are similar. They need to be strategic in their timing. Refusing to shop on Amazon for a week doesn’t do anything if we just go back to purchasing from them a week later. But what we can do is time it so it hits right before a fiscal quarter. That way it impacts the stock price and doesn’t fully bounce back until the following quarterly report.
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.
A year is a nice long runway for that.

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.
