Without existing strong organization you're probably right, but it's more likely that the wheels will come off and a general strike would happen naturally with rising inflation and unemployment.

The shitter things get, the less tight your social ties need to be for collective action. Everyone's implicitly on the same page when you start missing meals.

    Yeah, the average commuter will have to lose their house in the burbs (just 50 miles from work), the kid's private school, and the Tundra. When Frank Freeway is living in a rented shipping container and eating slop from the church food bank, MAYBE a few years of that will wake us the fuck up.

    Me? I'm retired. I could lose everything any time.
