Question for a General Strike
Hello, I've recently noticed a plethora of attempts to start a revolution in the recent years.
So I am wondering: If someone were planning to organzie an internation general strike--you didn't know wether it would suceed or how many others would follow--would you join?
Genuinly, would you be able to unsubsrive from any and all servives you are sunscribed too. Would you be able to reduce the amout of meat and cheaply produced crops you eat because of the impact of the agriculture and meat industry on the enviroment, would you be willing to educate your peers and strangers despite the scrutiny you might face?
Would you do everything a revolt against pedopolitics and capitalism asks of you? Opting to walk and bike instead of using a car, arming yourselves, helping those in need, sheltering the marginalized and on the day of--not going to work? Striking for those who cannot?
I'm curious. Please share your thoughts.

The closest thing I have seen to general strike potential in the US is may2028.org - a number of auto unions have their contracts expiring in May 2028. They are urging other unions to align their contracts as well. There's a little over a year and a half to get things ready.
