For most of U.S. history, general strikes have been rare–not because workers lacked the will to fight, but because the ruling class moved quickly and violently whenever that power surfaced.
Super excited to see this, from out of state. It sounds real. If it gets coverage, it’ll be inspirational across the country.
I know there were some walkouts “Free America” yesterday, but here (Atlanta), it was just a handful of schools and some sign-carriers. Not disruptive enough to push the weekend’s snow forecast out of the news.
I have been begging the general strike communities on discord to just do it already. I think pulling the trigger will just inspire enough others to join in. The “we need 3% to pledge” is bullshit because you only lose momentum after the initial surge of sign-ups. They need to just time it right to start it, and right after Goods death would have been perfect.
