How to stop a dictator while there's still time:

"We have the capacity to shut the system down."

"Batista in Cuba was shut down by a national strike. Same with the Shah in Iran."

"The ability to essentially halt political activity & commerce is within our hands -- if we organize."

I really didn’t have a second American civil war on my bingo card, especially one that triggers the third world war. Sending troops into Oregon with the instructions to ‘use full force’ if necessary’. For f**ks will someone use the second for the intended purpose?

There are too many MAGA supporters amongst the ‘working classes’ (I despise the very idea of classism, but it still exists) for an all out general strike to be effective. If the US economy finally does a second Wall Street crash perhaps then something will change. Removing the ghoul and his sycophants can’t happen soon enough.

The problem is more that the 50-year plutocratic project to debilitate the labour movement has worked. Labour had hitherto always led the resistance.

The brave few will need to build a movement. It only needs a *relatively* small percentage of the population.

Re Wall St, the govt will simply bail out the banks as it did last time (sovereign currency issuers can't run out of their own currency).

It's going to come down to the brave few. The American masses ain't got what it takes.
