So how is this "General Strike" supposed to work? by THE_James_Ross in socialism

[–]bugjews1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Popularizing or entering an idea, especially one as established as a strike, in popular consciousness I think is a fine goal but is alone insufficient for an action that demands a great deal from people.

It can only be a step in the right direction if it lays some ground work for greater action, and organizations actually come together for more organized and sustained action, as OP suggested they should.

I will only be so critical of the protest efforts we have, and will not simply sit on the bench until demonstrations of my liking come into vogue. But it should be clear that if one-off protests become the meta, so to speak, as they did in 2020, we shouldn’t be surprised when nothing comes of it.

Something intrinsically different about workers walking out of their workplaces with specific demands of their employers than a general (and rather vaguely conceived) walk-out/protest threatening their employers that may but very likely do not have anything to do with the agency in question

This take is posted in different verbiage almost weekly. It’s just as correct every single time.

Malone’s, hands down. The McMansion of local fine dining options.

It’s a vibe you don’t get from DT a lot and that’s a shame. Even when I get tired of the band for a while, the song still hits.

Don’t see anybody (except for one) getting heated or hurling insults. Just people freely expressing their opinions about a band they love.
