WHAT IS A GENERAL STRIKE?
A general strike is when working people refuse their labor until demands are met research shows we need 3.5% of the population, or 11 million Americans, to be successful the strike card below tracks our progress so we all know when its time to strike
WHY ARE WE STRIKING?
Weve voted, weve protested, and still, they ignore us. Our government refuses to meet our basic needs while the billionaire class hoards wealth and power. We cant afford to wait any longer. Our labor is our greatest strength and if we strike together we can make real change.
Tell me, what else is working?

(15,278 posts)Seriously, Keynes predicted that the harsh terms of the Versailles Treaty would lead to economic chaos and future conflict. If it wasn't Hitler, it would have been something else. From This Day in History:
On December 8, 1919, English economist John Maynard Keynes publishes The Economic Consequences of the Peace, a blistering critique of how the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I would wreak economic and political havoc throughout the European continent. In effect, he predicts the chaos that would engender the Nazi state.
Keynes, an official representative of the British Treasury, had attended the peace conference at the Palace of Versailles outside Paris, which began in January 1919 and ran until June 28, when Germany begrudgingly signed the treaty with the Allies, officially ending the war. One of the most outspoken critics of the punitive agreement, he had walked out of the conference in protest in late May. In his The Economic Consequences of the Peace, published just over five months later, Keynes predicted that the stiff war reparations and other harsh terms imposed on Germany by the treaty would lead to the financial collapse of the country, which in turn would have serious economic and political repercussions on Europe and the world.
The book was passionately written and widely readboth unusual for an economic treatise. In it, Keynes made a grim prophecy that would have particular relevance to the next generation of Europeans: If we aim at the impoverishment of Central Europe, vengeance, I dare say, will not limp. Nothing can then delay for very long the forces of Reaction and the despairing convulsions of Revolution, before which the horrors of the later German war will fade into nothing, and which will destroy, whoever is victor, the civilisation and the progress of our generation.

Hitler played on the poverty after WWI
Trump's playing on the economic miracle Joe Biden worked.
His Leni Riefenstahl/Joseph Goebbels media spectacular cast it as "depression" and all the idiots bought it.
Say, Goebbels looks like Stephen
