    Yeah I saw that on the SRA subreddit. It'll go exactly like the last time people tried this same thing (well I think it was a rent strike) like 6 months ago I'm sure.

    The first thing on one of the websites OP of that thread linked:

    We started this organization after we saw working class people launch a wave of labor strike and rent strike actions across the world in response to the severe negligence of our “leaders” as the pandemic has emerged. We were inspired into action by the workers and tenants and debtors who have already begun fighting and the hundreds of mutual aid systems which have spontaneously popped up everywhere

    Just bragging about tailism I guess. There's also no common fund set up to support a sustained strike. Basically this is what lack of theory does to a mf.

      Literally lmao. This is terminal online brainworms. Like motherfucker, how do you expect to lead a workers strike when you don't even talk to workers? Holding a food and literature drive in a public park would do more good than shouting into the void of Reddit. I'm gonna drop a Stalin quote that fits perfectly with this libshit, with some minor editing to fit this context.

      Trotsky[These dipshits] takes as the starting point of his[their] policy of theatrical gestures, not concrete human beings, not the concrete workers of flesh and blood who are living and struggling in Britain[America], but some sort of ideal and ethereal beings who are revolutionary from head to foot. Is it difficult, however, to understand that only persons devoid of common sense take ideal, ethereal beings as the starting point of their policy?
