I agree, but they should be active days, to get people plugged in, motivated, and should not be confused with general strike especially since a bunch of people already mistake general strikes as “boycotting work.” But everything I read says that’s a mistake, because those people end up scabs since they were allowed to think it was another paid holiday.
Maybe local labor unions (who broadly supported the general strike) and community organizations know more about the situation and appropriate response there than either of us 🤷♂️
People are strengthened by working together and organizing community action at any scale, not weakened.
No.
Organized community action that accomplishes nothing emboldens fascists who increasingly realize you pose no threat to them.
Sure, but if the only “working together” is to just whine “I don’t like this”, that’s not really worth the effort is it?
Strength for the people is only really useful when it’s used to act.
