"A general strike would be impossible to ignore. Millions of people showing up on the mall demanding change, coupled with millions of closed businesses..."
" Between 5 and 7 December [O.S. 22 and 24 November], there was a general strike by Russian workers. The government sent in troops on 7 December, and a bitter street-by-street fight began. A week later the Semenovskii Regiment was deployed, and used artillery to break-up demonstrations and to shell workers' districts. On 18 December [O.S. 5 December], with around a thousand people dead and parts of the city in ruins, the workers surrendered."
Were any of the numerous general strikes associated with the 1905 Revolution Conservative, Comrade Useful Idiot? No?
On what historical precedent are you modeling your not-so-well-thought-out General Strike, hmmm?
