I think that it’s more likely the case that a revolt through not “doing the work” would be successful in the United States. Sure we had armed fights in labor movements, but what I think really moves the needle is people just saying fuck you I won’t work under these conditions. Those atop the pyramid rely much more on other’s labor to sustain themselves.
This is why they also want to keep you poor and drain the social safety net: so that you cannot afford to miss a single paycheck and have no recourse to working all day every day just to feed yourself and your family.

Strikes basically. Yes, I agree. Money only makes them powerful because we need it to buy goods from them.
