I would love a real plan to do a general strike in the US. Unions are legally prohibited from participating so we lack the best institutional knowledge.

The main thing is that we need mutual aid funds so that people can eat, don't lose their homes etc. "Striking for a day" is BS. We need to outlast Capital...and forgive me for being pessimistic about whether this is possible.

And without unions we also lack a lot of solidarity. Let's say everyone on Lemmy, Reddit, Mastodon, and BlueSky participates...that's great, but the chances are that none of you are my coworkers. My boss can fire me, your boss fires you, no big deal.

I dunno. I would love to work towards a general strike, but memes with no intention of actually doing anything are getting annoying.
