The History of General Strikes

O'Brien: General strikes are not easy to organize. They're not something that you could just call for on Reddit or Twitter or Facebook and whatever. It takes serious community and workplace mobilization, it takes significant planning. You don't get usually, you don't get two chances to do a general strike,. O'Brien: If all those years that we spent calling for our strikes, actually more on effort was being put in to actually put the foundation in place for general strike to occur, then 2023 would be an ideal year.
