I remember reading about a japanese bus strike where the bus drivers kept doing their job, but stopped collecting the money.
There are also examples from around the world where healthcare workers go to quite serious lengths to ensure delivery of service is maintained while a nurses/doctora strike is taken.
So a general strike could be an option, but isn’t necessary to send a message. In fact more targetted strikes that leave dialogue and service on the table shows the protestors acting in good faith, potentially opening different avenues to bridge the divide between childish-oligarchic-cunts (management/upper class), and the workers.
All i’m saying is theres more options than blowing up the system, and staged, measured, predictable responses to the others actions can be extrememely effective in showing the often ridiculous demands of the other side’s position.
A general strike does not mean a total strike. It’s enough people at the same time across enough of industries that it can’t easily be negotiated, manipulated, precluded or shut it down.
If you’re OK with elderly people starving to death and dying from infected wounds to make a point, you can fuck right off.
