    The February 1 General Strike (二・一ゼネスト, Ni-ichi zenesuto) was a general strike planned by Japanese labor unions for February 1, 1947, with the goal of fighting for the implementation of the ten demands proposed in last December, including the abolition of the income tax. The strike was eventually stopped by order of SCAP.
