Things have gotten so bad in America that they no longer view voting and protesting as a viable way to achieve change in the system. As a result, more and more of them are calling for a revolution—and not all of them think peace is an option. In this video, we’ll discuss how declining material conditions, the collapse of the state, and rise of fascist authoritarianism has led to a conversation about the need to rise up and overthrow the system.

Its moving squarely into much more mainstream channels and spaces. Lawmakers are calling for a general strike. Not to say moderators wont do what they do, but this isn't a fringe view any more. Not in 2026.

I haven't heard about calls for a general strike. Who is calling for one?
