   I mean I support a general strike because there's more than one way to kill the beast.

   I don't see it as "the noviolent option" because what's going to happen the moment you take away their ability to extract wealth, you threaten the ruling class's power and they are going to send armed goons to force you back into subservience.

   So to me, there is no difference between a general strike and a revolution; I'll let you call it whatever you want so long as we end the fuckbarrel killing us all.

     In many ways, I see the general strike as the preferable option simply because fighting house to house across the entire Pig Empire will take a long time, and has maximum potential for casualties on our side.

     Grinding the gears of capitalism to a complete halt will not only solve the problem FASTER, but make it progressively harder to murder us as the machine falls apart without the juice that makes it go - profits.

     The machine's hard spots, are in the instruments of oppression. Those are well protected, defended by armies upon armies of class traitors and jackbooted fascists with guns. We can fight there, it is possible to struggle against those hard points and win.

     But the machine's soft underbelly is the capitalist system itself. Its profit centers. Its ability to extract wealth. If you starve it of profit, you undermine its very foundations. And these parts are very soft, and largely undefended.

     @WhippoorwillSong I don't care what you see; I'm watching it happen all around me. Call it whatever you want. I'm going to keep calling it fascism because it is fascism.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites The kleptocrats surely have plans for how to turn everything to their advantage, like One Orange Braincell always does.

     I'm not sure that the U.S. is centralized enough for a fascist dictatorship to truly work there. I suppose I'm naive. But outside of some states with their own tinpot gods, I don't see how it could be done... eh, I suspect there are too many complexities that haven't been factored in by the Project 25 folks, I think they see things overly simplistically.
