    A peaceful general strike would lead to military intervention in about 45-60 days I think.

    But at the end of the day, how do you task society to forcibly work?

    Everyone can just start taking sick days, what’s the Army going to do, go to door?

        I’m speaking more towards if workers stay at home en mass, etc.

          Action and motion are necessary to sustain life in a community, through distribution, protection, and communication.

          Nevertheless, whether workers are inside the home or outside, it seems reasonable to anticipate visitation by ACAB.

            I don’t know, the optics of police literally going into people’s homes and pulling them out and forcing them to work doesn’t seem like something the government would want, no matter what.

              Which side of government would care? The coproratocracy or the facists?

                The side that wants to get reelected.

              Not just the optics, but the very real danger to the police themselves. This is the US. People get shot for arguing. When you know that sometime this month the police will show up at your door, you might take precautions.

              Optics? Seriously? Do we live on opposite sides of the television screen?

                You really think it would be a positive optic to see on the Evening News policeman going in the house and dragging people out and forcefully driving them to work and making them work at gunpoint?

                    Do you need a definition of the word?

                    A quick Google search will get you that.
