curmugeon | The class war just had its first strategic strike (Reply)

In Britain we have a general strike, over 2 million workers waled off ther jobs today sending a message that class warfare by the rich is not going to go unanswered. Of course the government started blaming the unions and their 'gold plated pensions', a bunch of bullshit we hear here as the conservatives and their rich wealthy buddies keep bashing public sector workers. I really think we need a nationwide general strke in this country, bring the whole country to a stop for two days or more. Then if the government i paying attention, they will start acting like they represent the people, not the rich. If a general strike comes, I will pick up a sign and join the others in the streets. For now I can only say I will not feel sorry for those who suffer some inconvenience from such a strike. Maybe they will wake up and realize that democracy is something you participate in, not just watch on TV. Posted on Dreamwidth
