What conditions would you require to start general striking? - eviltoast

I know for many people the main condition is that their work wouldn’t be cool with it so would lose income or threaten job. in union strikes, a huge part of our dues goes towards a strike fund to make sure people get income when striking so i think i would like to see some crowd funding general strike fund or some sort of union type thing but anyone in working class can join & point of it is to organize and fund assistance, legal help, anti-retaliation.

I’d be down to general strike though, some massive positive changes in history have been via general striking since wealthy class freaks out.

what do y’all think?

    A unprovoked war, I guess, would be an obvious one for me. A debt default would probably lead to one since everyone’s retirement account would be fucked.

    I mean, I’d join one now if unions and major non-profits organized one. But I’m self-employed so it’s not a risk for me. I get why a lot of people can’t take the risk of being fired.
