I wonder if there'll ever be a thread where someone mentions even the notion of a general strike without several comments immediately denouncing the idea as completely outside the scope of possibility :thinking-about-it:
Like... maybe instead of "the working class isn't effectively organized for it" the reaction should be "how can we go about getting the working class effectively organized for it"
Every time some enthusiastic kid who's just heard about general strikes tries to get one to happen by tweeting about it on Twitter, don't just sit there and laugh, try to turn it into a "talk to your coworkers about unionizing day."
There's no point in going around telling people their ideas won't work if you don't tell them how to fix them.

You aren't talking about that with your co-workers every day?
