Those that can save, should, so that they can help their neighbors and colleagues who can't.
We are only powerful if we work together, and that means those that can save excess money, should, and also be bold enough to offer support, and those that can't should prepare in other ways like organizing and promoting, and be bold enough to seek support when they need it.
We win this together, not individually.
I think we're saying the same thing.
We can't go into the 2028 general strike thinking about self preservation - we can't go into the 2028 general strike unprepared.
We have less than 4 years to lay the ground work for a success that cannot be defeated by the capitalist class.
In my mind, that means all the above:
Voting allied people into federal, state, and local governments who won't massacre us this time, including sheriffs and mayors and governors and judges
Gathering people together to understand each other and build rapport and trust
Building the list of goals and demands so we have a definition of success that can be capitulated
Organizing support networks to ensure we don't starve or get evicted and etc, while on strike
The capitalist class will have an intelligence operation, they will know if they can simply wait us out or exploit weaknesses - if we prepare right, they will know that their best option is to give into our demands. The more prepared and united we are, the faster they'll surrender.
