Will the general strike entail striking against the rich parents propping up some of the most visible and most nice loft-having activists behind the general strike? Asking for a friend who is rich, and wants to stay that way
"I think we can have a little socialism, and I can have a little luxury, as a treat," they told me as I convinced them to buy me $5000 worth of dota 2 skins in exchange for reworking one of their shitty paragraphs, also as a treat
Yeah, much as how I prefer my socialists to win their elections, I prefer my strikes be organized and targeted to win small objectives so the poorest among us don't starve. All this unemployment right now is basically a general strike w no objective, and will accomplish as much
Is there a particular media outlet pushing the general strike? Jacobin?
A variety of minor players associated with those publications
union delegate here - I find it hilarious when people who've never even been a union member start going on about "general strikes" labor activism ain't easy - if you want a general strike 20 years from now, organize a strike at your job now
Precisely, though I suppose the "general strike" is a great, fun concept when you don't work or even need money. Just like the rent strike being even cooler if you don't pay rent (obviously if your parents are landlords, their tenants would still need to pay them)
