Yes, a general strike with no supply chains set up and no assistance from Dems. Sounds like the perfect way to break our resistance by getting people who aren't ready to commit fully to commit early and burn out before the harder questions have been solved. Not everyone is or will become a revolutionary but we still have to account for them in the struggle.

I want a general strike. I want to stop the misery but you can't just say, "OK guys. Everyone clock out." People need electricity, food, and heat. If we aren't building this now then the proposed general strike in 2028 will fail.
