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 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.
