    I didn’t say not to, I said it’d be tantamount to just opening with a violent attack on a bank. The ruling class will react the same way to any threat to their wealth and power.

    If we started a general strike, anyone who’s got any kind of platform and discussed the strike in any kind of positive light can expect their door to be kicked in by a federal SWAT team by day 2 or 3.

      That’s gonna be hard if it’s a substantial amount of the population. Not all of those police and SWAT teams are going to be keen on pushing through with it either, if the other decision and direction results in them keeping jobs in the future and a better government.

      Honestly it’s either that, hope for the best (all of which have failed thus far) or it goes down badly.

        It won’t be. First off a substantial amount of the population doesn’t have a platform big enough to cause problems. Secondly, most of the people who do are friendlier to the ruling class than they’d like you to believe.

          I get the feeling that once it’s collapsed and you’ve gone out to bully others, rpthen those others fight back, it might be.

          If it gets to that, hopefully the others give them a decent beating.
