We don't talk about the George Floyd Rebellion enough. That was the closest we've ever gotten to a general strike. The most important moment of push back against this system in 40 years. It proved what we're capable of and terrified the ruling class. Step 1 is getting back there.
The George Floyd protests taught us that politicians literally only respond to riots and that’s it. There’s nothing else you can do except let the kids set precincts on fire and send bricks through Starbucks windows. That’s all we’ve learned for the past four years.

This was all conscious class war. They lost labor discipline because of the pandemic. To re-discipline people they increased the cost of living and withdrew state support, returning us to the level of dependence on capitalists that prevailed prior to 2020. Actually worse now.
Price gouging was so bad that the Fed raised interest rates in response. For most ppl, higher rates affect us by making it more expensive to get a mortgage or a car loan.
