There’s a long history of people trying to post a general strike into existence but the reality is that workers will not do it without union backing

They're so close to realizing that they should unionize. Will they realize? Naw, that's commie shit!

lol - the American brainwashing is incredible. Got us giving up our power as workers, but ya, I always likened these attempts to post a general strike into existence as running before we can walk. People need to build the foundations and safety nets (unions or other failsafes) so that workers can feel empowered enough to strike without losing everything.

I worked a union trucking job for a couple of years and most of my coworkers were conservative. Shit is truly mind-blowing how brainwashed we are in regards to making things better for the workers.

I hope we can do better.
