This recent wave of strikes hints at a solution. What if the entire global working class had this level of solidarity? What if unions in several critical industries could leverage a nuclear option by threatening to strike simultaneously, showing that ultimately labor is what makes the world function and withdrawing that would be catastrophic? What if we built up mutual aid networks to help people out if we end up being forced to use that option? What if we used that leverage of figuratively putting a gun to the global economy's head to make demands - not petitions or requests, actual unignorable demands - of those in power to actually solve problems? Not just fighting for wages and better working conditions, if we have this kind of leverage we can go bigger. Demand privately owned companies relinquish ownership to their employees and restructure as a co-op, demand real estate parasites cease operations and give all their houses to people who need them, because all this shit is incredibly fragile, all it takes is the right people to stop working and it all crumbles very quickly.
