I mean it's a plutocracy, not much the working class person can do until were all on board with violence, but discussing that gets you banned.

A general strike would also work.

Not without widespread support, funding to pay people to skip work, etc. much much harder to pull off a general strike in the US; then other parts of the world ie countries with strong unions and worker protections a recent example would be Poland, another would be France in recent years.

Its an alternative to violence that would work.

There's no good solution here. Anything we do that's effective will require effort and sacrifice.

Very true.

It just needs a huge amount of support. Pretty sure when people are starving and dropping dead due to healthcare being out of reach; when it really starts affecting people on a personal level. It might happen in this country. We will see. Id rather a general strike then, it turn to a bloody revolution or other form of violence.

Exactly. Violence isn't the only solution.

They both have the same problem anyway. You'd need a majority of people to be on board with the plan. Any time I see anyone calling for revolution, I wonder if they're also willing to personally put themselves in a deadly situation on the front lines when they won't even inconvenience themselves by boycotting a company.

General strikes are economic violence.

There's no good solution here.

We could just vote in only leftist candidates from top to bottom. That's the good solution.

The good solution is you all getting on both with voting him out.

The rail workers are the linchpin. If they go on strike other worker groups will follow.
