For most of U.S. history, general strikes have been rare–not because workers lacked the will to fight, but because the ruling class moved quickly and violently whenever that power surfaced.
I have a 401k and I say fuck it: general strike these assholes. The innumerable gains we’d see by wresting back control of the country would make decimating it worth it, plus I’m likely to die in the Climate Wars™ before retirement age anyhow.
I’m saying people who have 401ks have responded to my discussions around a general strike with disdain, wether they know this or not.

I realize I’m one person but I have a 401k and I’m not balking at the idea.
Yeah same, I’d back a general strike. Whether I have a 401k doesn’t even enter into the picture.
