Could be. Stopping working for the system, with massive strikes. There is nothing they fear more. But they will exercise violence first, have no doubt. They are the lords and masters of violence. With violence they have the upper hand. A difficult situation to manage.
History has shown us again and again that when capital feels threatened, it gets violent anyways. Look at how many strikes have been beaten down, shot or even bombed (look it up, the first plane-dropped bombs in the US were dropped on striking miners)
I dislike violence, and I don’t think it’s good strategy to start it (that’s why I’m a syndicalist), but realistically, we should be ready for the reaction.
Lest we forget about the Black Wall Street massacre.
Fair enough. 1921 truly was a good year to bomb the american people, it would seem
God, the best year for bombing american civilians. 2025 is looking pretty promising though.
Actually might’ve been on black people getting money in oklahoma. I forget which was first.
Someone else linked that, the Tulsa massacre was indeed a couple of months earlier
Okay, months, i feel better not knowing it was sooner.
As soon as we exercise the right to strike they will attempt to A) beat us back into submission via lawfare and actual repression and B) bring in scabs
Thus we will be forced to defend ourselves, our communities and to prevent scabs from working. Sabotage of production may be required. Now property damage. Now we’re back at violence. Do you think the coal mining unions went to war with pinkertons and cops because they loved violence? It’s because they started with strikes and this is the route capital takes to escalate in response.
