No they won't.  They can survive way longer than we can.

Exactly - that is the problem. Asking people on the edge (I'm not in this group myself) to go out on a limb where they can lose their job is a lot. If people knew that is the only way out of certain and complete destruction, that would be one thing - but that kind of certainty is impossible to convince everyone to have (even if it were true).

We better have a backup plan to the general strike idea. Maybe a couple.

I'm in the same boat.

Can they though? Most of the superrich have their assets tied up in the stock market and other financial instruments. When the gears stop all of that stuff goes into free fall and they have no actual practical skills to fall back on.

I wouldn't be surprised if when people tried to organize one they just sell their stocks, crashing everything and then leave the country.

They won’t be able to take all their factories and resources with them though. People would just rebase the currency, establish new systems and start again without them. It’s happened many, many times in history.

I want to agree but panic and unrest at a scale like that will be far faster than many think

A TRUE General Strike in the US (with something like 25% of people doing it) would cause absolute fucking chaos. The market would PLUMMET and with it alllll those billionaires' net worths.

We could also all agree to move our various retirement funds into stable value funds and similar Money Market Funds. Between the two you'd see absolute chaos among the rich.

Yeah, a sane person with the amount of assets rich people have could hunker down and hold out for years. But these people are driven exclusively by greed. A percentage drop of just a few points in their net worth in a short amount of time will break them mentally on its own.

It would be met with violence though, just like Blair mountain and the many other labor uprisings before the wealthy would 100% use their class traitor attack dogs to violently kill it.

You can't meet a General Strike with violence. The beauty of it is you DON'T show up to work or buy anything at all. You stay at home for the duration of it. If you have to get food just go to a local grocery store and grab the essentials. Ideally you do that beforehand.

Can they though? All of their wealth starts to dry up as soon as their stocks take a hit. They aren’t mostly tied up in ownership shares. Even though they will still be much more solvent than you and I, they horde net worth and will take actions to protect it if we show them what that would require.

They may lose a ton of their virtual wealth but the elite almost always fare better than the plebs.

aaand that's how you keep people cucked at home, watching on as everything is taken from them

newsflash: they'll bleed you out and "survive longer" just the same if you don't do anything
