    Unionization en mass and a general strike are just simply not realistic goals in the current political and social climate in the US. And that half assed attempt at organization at that level is now going to get my country invaded.

      You know what else didn’t seem like reasonable goals in the current political climate? Dissolving USDA and global boycotts, resulting in absolutely tanking Tesla stock. Things change.

      Organizing can make the change necessary to overcome usamerican fascism. Giving up and relying on the status quo will allow your “democracy” to die in silence.

        I’m not saying don’t do those things. Quite the opposite. I just don’t see them playing out as effectively as they need to. But maybe I’m just becoming cynical in my old age. Power to you, organizing is useful.

      It seems like a leap that people don’t have the motivation to unionize and strike, but would eagerly hop into a full on violent revolution?

      Realistically, unless the military fractures or fully refuses to engage against this revolution, the best you’ll get are The Troubles.
