8. General strikes, hitting TPTB in their pocketbooks,

may be the only mechanism with any hope of success at this point (since the MSM are generally complicit and TPTB have established that occasional protest marches can just be ignored). And agreed that such strikes should be sustained for as long as possible (maybe rolling from one sector to another, to keep the pain inflicted on the 1% going for months or years without rendering all the strikers completely destitute?)

Since it's only a matter of time before most of us are replaced by AI and/or placated with UBI's, the sooner we do this, the better!
