    I think we should take a cue from Shawn Fain (United Auto Workers president) and prepare for a real general strike in 2028 when the Big 3 auto makers return to the negotiating table.

    How do we do this? Anything that can enable those on strike to keep their homes and keep food on the table for long enough to break the capitalsts.

    This means building community

    Think about how we, how millions of us are going to eat when the grocery stores are closed because strikes broke supply chains or salty company owners close to spite strikers. As long as we are almost totally dependent on the capitalists, we can’t realistically expect to resist them. If you want change, start growing some of your own food as real first step. Second step is coordinating with your neighbors. Third step is figuring out what to do when your landlord come knocking.
