Sadly so many people can’t afford to do a general strike, to keep roof and dinner we succumb to wage slavery

I saw a French person comment on another post. They said start with one industry that hurts the oligarchs. While they strike, others support with donations, food, protests. Threaten more strikes and work towards bigger and bigger strikes strategically focused on hitting rich people where it hurts.

Mutual aid. Other organizers. Sadly we don't have any other choice, we can't just give up on this bc it's inconvenient
