What, is Joe Biden gonna do anything for me? Imagine holding a strike for your senile manager that got fired and your demand is restoring the senile manager into a leadership position.
You can risk your life for a dodering former segregationist, but I'm not.
Lando is probably saying they wouldn't put themself at risk in a protest for Joe fucking Biden, but if a general strike happens, everyone except chuds will stay at home cuz fuck work.
Wheres the lib strike fund? How are they gonna feed people? This is as dumb as every other time someone called for a general strike with no left wing organization
My friend, the goal of socialism is more or less of abolition wage labor. You are NEVER advancing the project by fighting for us all to go back to work.
I think we've kind of gotten wrapped up in the election as well and we all need to return to Marx. Even if you donate a portion of your income to bail funds, your employers are extracting an even larger portion to further their class interests. You don't fight capitalism by working for capitalists my good dude.
In the hypothetical scenario of a large scale labor action that touches you wherever you work, you are not a socialist if you do not throw in with labor. Period. End of Sentence.
now that i disagree with, because sometimes strikes (especially involving labor aristocracy) can actually be used and manipulated to fuck over a socialist government
example: chilean copper miners striking to fuck allende's government
I think he's saying that he would join a strike by staying at home. I wouldn't miss an opportunity to not go to work, but Joe Biden can go fuck himself.
you are correct. The Democrats are complicit in destroying the power of labour by letting it wither, haven't done anything to strengthen it. They haven't done a thing to strengthen anyone but the capitalists really. And people would have a general strike for that rotten faction of the bourgeois, granting it the ultimate legitimacy of the popular opposition 'party' (it is nothing more than an institution in practise). It is responsible for the state of the Government just as much as Republicans! Their purpose is to do nothing in power and suppress rising left-wing activity. You want those fuckers to be the authority that calls a general strike!?!
It isn't gonna happen of course because that requires unions at peak strength, but people need to think about the implications more. This is a squabble between factions of the ruling class over the levers of power and people come up with a hypothetical in which a powerful labour movement just supports one side. Incredible.
Yes. Unironically.

lol this person would oppose striking workers to own Joe Biden.
Lando is probably saying they wouldn't put themself at risk in a protest for Joe fucking Biden, but if a general strike happens, everyone except chuds will stay at home cuz fuck work.
nope, he is saying he would actively oppose striking workers https://hexbear.net/post/45889/comment/412954
I'm already at home. I don't think anything would change?
Also, I have no $$ and no union. I'm not withholding labor to make Joe Biden feel better. If he wants the presidency he can go and take it
Scab bastard.
If that shit happens I hope I take some dumpass libs job tbh
Scabbing to own the libs.

I said I'm not striking. You can do whatever you want, I'm making this $$$ and donating a portion to nationwide bailfunds and my local shit.
Don't tell me I have to put my body and life on the line for Joe Biden. Step too far

The dumbest take I've seen so far is the critique that hypothetically, faced with Donald Trump we all need to strike for Joe Biden.
Great content. Fuck off, Joe Biden can do it himself
coincidentally yours is also the dumbest take I've seen so far. Striking is good IN AND OF ITSELF.

general strikes are cool tho
