    Has a politician ever called for a general strike in US history? He’s actually encouraging crippling his own economy?

      We operate in a faith based monetary system in a global economy. Dear leader is destroying the faith and the global ties. The economy is already dead, they are in the final stages of replacing you with computer and robot

      If the US falls any further under oligarchy control there won’t be an economy to work with, either because it’ll all be more or less centralized under various groups and various levels of control or because it’ll get too top heavy and collapse. Better to burn the old growth and start over now rather than let it fester and deal with a far far bigger fire.

        Wut. We need to cripple the economy. The general strike is our most powerful tool

        I’m saying that it would be remarkable for a politician to call for that, and asking if it’s the first time in history.
