If you're going to ask 11 million people to commit to striking, shouldn't they know what they're striking for? Committing to a strike is an enormous commitment and risk - how can I possibly sign this if, when push comes to shove, the demands end up being like "coal workers will get a $0.10 raise through additional subsidies" or something. They don't seem to even have a hint of what they will demand.
The idea of a general strike has enormous power, but this in particular seems like a recipe for disappointment.
- UncleEntity 2y ago"There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order." Not sure how a general strike fits in that framework but to each their own...
