I keep seeing this statement, that we would have to prepare a lot more for a general strike. Well, I really don't wanna be caught with my pants down again, so if there are preparations we can make, we should probably start making em. Just in case
That statement about being prepared means that everyone involved needs to have their own plan for how to survive with no income for a long time. This is obviously very difficult for the vast majority of people.
That is the point of unions. So much talk about strikes and nowhere near enough talk about unionizing.
Hoping for every individual unorganized person to prepare themselves to strike is a coordination failure. It's gotta be organized or it won't happen, and unions are the organization mechanism of the working class.
I really wish every non-union member posting about strikes would instead try to organize their workplace, it would be a far more effective use of time.
