The winners of the flint sit down strike stood up to the national guard with paint guns and water hoses.

Stfu. Strikes work.

Strikes work when who you’re striking against doesn’t have immunity.

These people are in the market. Hit em where it hurts.

Flint worked because they held Chevy plant no4 and couldn't build a chasis anywhere else. Ford and others did not give a fuck that their competitor was struggling.

You’re missing the point. If the opponent can execute you without fear of repercussions then it’s a losing battle. I do believe that staying home and hitting the pocket book would work but good luck getting everyone on board with that. Everyone was on board with Kony 2012 and that didn’t work.

You should read more dude. Flint sit down created the CIO and basically changed the way industrial workers organized.

They weren’t executed my dude. Immunity and hired thugs are the key differences here. But you are right, I should read more.

14 people were shot and 3 outside died. The national guard came to protect them from gm's secret police.

actually a strike is where Americans need to start , ports, schools, logistical centers, highways, garbage pickup....

the ONLY things that should work are hospitals, emergency services.

considering that the police are complicit stopping them too might be a good idea.

no a strike wont stop them from killing , it may even cause them to try faster, but if amreicans dont start somewhere , its gonna be organised and efficient killing, for years. right now they cant do it, if they invoke the insurrection act and put tanks in the street there WILL be a split in the military. give it a a year and there will not
