It’s a serious question because the president is elected so it’s not just “hey you need to step down”.
- Definitely Musk shouldn’t be a part of things.
- Definitely the courts should be listened to (but what that means as a demand I don’t really understand)
- Definitely reign in the presidential orders, reduce their scope or number or SOMETHING
I mean, I’m not the guy to do this. But what exactly kind of things could be done to control this crazy ass situation?
Okay, but Trump isn’t going to do that. So, what do we demand to fix our current, URGENT situation?
Which of the issues above is not a current, URGENT issue?
If you have a “successful” general strike, the strike continues until the demands are met, that is the measure of success. If Trump (or the current system) is not going to do that, clearly he (or it) will not be in place when the strike ends.
A general strike isn’t the end goal - it’s just one tool in a larger movement for a fairer society. Without deep structural change, any victory will be temporary, and moderates will be swept aside just like in the Russian Revolution.
The real fight is against a system that: • Turns housing into feudal lodgings • Keeps workers powerless through debt, low wages, and job insecurity • Uses healthcare as a profit engine instead of public infrastructure • Pushes every aspect of life toward privatization and financialization
A successful movement won’t just demand small fixes - it will challenge the entire system that allows exploitation to continue.
