wouldn't a "general strike" be illegal in the U.S. under Taft- Hartley?
Absolutely illegal in the U.S.


Although the country itself was founded on a general strike.

It's not the illegality that prohibits a general strike in the U.S., but the disinterest of the people, nourished by milk-toast corporate media and its control of the national conversation. In the beginning, people were not disinterested -- the revolution was part of their lives. Today, stuff like that is just another TV program.

Yawn. Die.
