(psssssst announcing a general strike should be the culminating moment of months or even years of collective action and laying groundwork not the first step)
(the first question people are going to ask when you announce a strike is "ok how do I feed myself while I'm not working?" and if your answer is "sign on help us figure it out" they're not going to join you)
(because if you don't get it figured out in time you're simply asking them to throw themselves into the gears of capitalism to get shredded on the vague hope that if enough people destroy their lives it will something something revolution)
(whereas if you've properly laid the groundwork of guaranteeing long-term resources to strikers not only is it safe to strike you are literally demonstrating how we can meet our needs without capitalism ok that's all love you)
(I want people to understand the takeaway here is let's do a general strike but do it RIGHT so it exists as more than a briefly trending hashtag like the last several have)
