The billionaire class probably have enough resources to starve us all out of a general strike. The system ticks on in the meantime… Landlords expect rent, banks expect mortgage payments, interest accrues, etc.
I sincerely hope I am wrong, but I don’t think there’s a way to swat the system in the nose and in bring it around to working for regular people.
To cripple capitalism in the way that people seem to envision would require mass worker revolt; seizing assets and land, securing access to basic needs, military and communications operations. However, a prolonged revolt will only create a power vacuum, so it would also require a plan to implement reforms in a coordinated, cooperative, and sustainable manner.
