UPDATERuzihm posted:SEIU is calling for a May Day general strike https://www.facebook.com/events/1221437297933877/ https://www.google.com/search?q=general+strike+february+17th https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/30/travel-ban-airport-protests-disruption K so Francine Prose wrote an article in the Guardian calling for a General Strike, aka a national strike, to protest Trump, and then she goes on to tell you to delete Uber and use Lyft, because she doesn't understand that  (Carl Icahn, early and vocal Trump backer and fundraiser. has a hefty $100M investment in Lyft lol. Can't even take a cab, since they are so notoriously racist. Gonna have to hippie it up and start riding a bike.) ANYWAY that is all a distraction the important thing is that people have taken the GENERAL STRIKE idea and run with it. I, SA Forums User Laphroaig, heartily support the idea b/c I would get the day off. Even better, they are suggesting Feb. 17th 2017, which would give me a 4 day weekend. Therefore I wholeheartedly support the General Strike and urge you all to  in solidarity.Sadly the only workers whose striking would really upset the elites are if the Police went on strike, and somehow I doubt that will ever happen. jarofpiss posted:call in sick (you will probably be fired but then you're just always on strike which is extremely revolutionary) THERE IS ANOTHER GENERAL STRIKE THREAD, which in solidarity w/ this one i have linked below https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3808680&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 let a thousand megathreads bloom Laphroaig has issued a correction as of 19:43 on Feb 15, 2017 |

General Strike is a badass name for a general, but what exactly are his military qualifications and what is his strategy to defeat trump

To answer your question, I have seen many memes on the issue and I am afraid he would be defeated by General Mattis quite knifehandedly.

this is too soon from now for an actual general strike. not nearly enough time to organize and set up infrastructure. however, sounds like a good day to blockade airports and highways

In response to the OP, I don't think a police strike would be the only way to "upset elites." Workers striking en masse and shutting down essential industries like shipping/trucking/the post office could practically shut the economy down with a strike lasting for more than just a day

A banana split How do you know Jean Claude Van Damme is a socialist? He is always doing splits What did the socialist say to the other socialist after the direct action meeting? Hey, let's split!
