People are strengthened by working together and organizing community action at any scale, not weakened.
No.
Organized community action that accomplishes nothing emboldens fascists who increasingly realize you pose no threat to them.
I agree, but they should be active days, to get people plugged in, motivated, and should not be confused with general strike especially since a bunch of people already mistake general strikes as “boycotting work.” But everything I read says that’s a mistake, because those people end up scabs since they were allowed to think it was another paid holiday.
Maybe local labor unions (who broadly supported the general strike) and community organizations know more about the situation and appropriate response there than either of us 🤷♂️
Yeah those old heads are the ones whose stuff I’ve been reading. But general strike vets are not the ones spinning up these 1-day strikes AFAIK. Feel free to share though.
Most I’ve seen are college students sharing motivational posters Grok made them for the 1-day general strike they wanted to have the Friday before spring break. They’re hyper localized and largely meaningless campus-level social events, not adding stable nodes to the resistance network. (But I’m sure there are others more mindful than that.)
My complaint is simply that my peers don’t try harder to understand the fucking assignment, or ask the experienced, before they Leroy Jenkins.
Sure, but if the only “working together” is to just whine “I don’t like this”, that’s not really worth the effort is it?
Strength for the people is only really useful when it’s used to act.
