@sleepfreeparent@jeffowski@book the difference with a general strike is that the work needed to build up to it (i.e. constructing large inter-industry unions and making smaller strikes) has immediate positive consequences and won’t completely go to waste if the general strike never happens
@f00fc7c8@jeffowski@book ooh, good point. Also we mustn't forget building up a mutual aid infrastructure to help meet people's material needs for at least the duration of the strike
@jeffowski The Romans had a set of balls we don't have. We have the power in numbers yet, collectively speaking, we seem to suffer from Stockholm Syndrome.
