>>495209The only general strike in recent US history was earlier this year in MN, and prior to that there hadn't been a general strike for at least a decade afaik, I think much longer. That strike did seem to achieve its goal, or at least came close, but, admittedly, it was a much less lofty goal - the retreat of ICE from MN.
Even that much more localized strike & shutdown (although it was accompanied by nationwide school walkouts, which were much less significant than the labor strike in MN even if they numbered greatly) was territory which hasn't been touched in the US for many years. Pulling off something like it nationwide will be commendable, and a sign of great organizational progress. The ability to withhold labor organizationally is a necessary weapon, and must be sharpened.
