I love this because it's like setting up a prophecy. Remember that 2012 Mayan doomsday thing? People actually thought we were gonna get raptured or some shit. Setting up this strike this far in advance only increases the likelihood that it'll actually happen, imo. Especially since - even here on Hexbear - any other time anyone mentions the concept of a general strike, a fuckload of naysayers start aggressively shredding its wings before it can even get off the ground.
It's partly because "people mentioning a general stroke" is always just "a bunch of people mentioning a general strike" online without the support of a single actual union.

I think people will get behind this one, this one has firepower behind it. Still needs to grow but damn, we're cooking with gas
Setting it so far in advance could also make people antsy to strike immediately, so there could be some predecessor organizing in the meantime
