A "Repayment" strike.

It used to be that the only thing that the working class had to fight back with was the withholding of our labor. Or a strike. However because of the expansionist nature of capitalism, they had to do something in an era of flat incomes to encourage consumption. So they allowed the working class to accumulate debt. Now this is another weapon in the arsenal.

But the "Repayment" strike has to be done in conjunction with the general strike or it won't work. The legal system is built to crush working class resistance, so the only out is bankruptcy. If/when it comes to this, we all need to file Chapter 7 and NOT just stop payment. And all at the same time. That would be part of overloading the ENTIRE system.
