A GENERAL STRIKE IS WHEN WORKING PEOPLE REFUSE THEIR LABOR UNTIL DEMANDS ARE MET • RESEARCH SHOWS WE NEED 3.5% OF THE POPULATION, OR 11 MILLION AMERICANS, TO BE SUCCESSFUL • THE STRIKE CARD BELOW TRACKS OUR PROGRESS SO WE ALL KNOW WHEN IT’S TIME TO STRIKE • JOIN THE MOVEMENT https://generalstrikeus.com/

@sb This site is specifically referring to the American population. The numbers would likely be different in other countries like Canada, but the sentiment of there needing to be a large portion of the population to have an effective mass general strike would still be true.

@Radical_EgoCom That's exactly my point! We can do it here, and with 10 times less participants than in the US. This should be strong encouragement for us up here.

@Radical_EgoCom Fortunately in my country we have more options for whom to vote for. I won't be voting for the usual suspects because they do not care, and their attitude towards genocide is appalling. I will vote for another candidate and party. Thankfully I have that choice here.

@ramin_hal9001 I couldn't find on their site exactly who they are, probably due to their organization being decentralized and made up of many people, but I did find their email where you could potentially get more information on them: info@TheGeneralStrike.com

@Radical_EgoCom on the one hand, I think it is great if this is legit. On the other, I know about COINTELPRO. Unfortunately, if there is going to be any general strike, there needs to people who take the risk of leading the movement without remaining anonymous, and do some real, old-fashioned politics. If this website were an extension of that I would be more optimistic about it.
