Any asshole posting about a "general strike" with no support fund and no organization of their strikers is a fed.

Sorry, nothing personal. I've seen images posted a lot. This is the first time I saw a website, but that's even worse.

Strikes take a lot of planning and coordination. You need to be able to support your strikers so that they'll be able to outlast Capital until your demands are met. One of the main purposes of unions is to save a "war chest" to do this.

If I and a bunch of my Internet buddies tried to strike, the first problem is that we'd each be the only striker at our workplaces...our bosses would just fire us and go on with their day.
