       I'm begging leftists to actually bother organizing a bake sale. Please. Just simply begging you.You can't have a general strike until you have deep on-the-ground organizing, which you don't have. Less calling for general strikes on social media with no understanding of what that means or what that would takeHint: if your workplace isn't organized, you won't get a "general" strike. Not here.More baking your neighbors a pie, more talking to your coworkers, more getting involved in politics.

       Strikes are usually able to answer the following questions:1. What do people do when they aren't being paid? 2. Who has the ability to negotiate for the strikers?3. Who gets to say when it is done?These aren't _strictly_ necessary, but for the kind of power that people seem to assume that a general strike would have it does feel important.If your answer is "all of us" or "we stay out until <arbitrary criteria> are met" then you aren't serious. Go back to talking to people.
