If you’re here, you likely feel it already.
You work more, stretch further, and still fall behind. Prices rise faster than wages. Risk is pushed down while profits rise. Participation in the economy often feels less like a choice and more like a requirement.
We are told this is normal. We are told there is no alternative. And yet, many of us feel the strain in our finances, our time, and our sense of control.
When the idea of a general strike comes up, it often sounds unrealistic or extreme. If and when that happens, there is one important question:
Without clear preparation and grounded information, many will find the discomforts of a general strike surprisingly difficult, and some will struggle to survive an extended labor strike.
The Survival Guide for a General Strike exists to help you prepare for a General Strike. Preparing for a General Strike is a strike in and of itself, as you prepare for the financial pressure needed for economic transformation.
This guide does not call for immediate action. Instead, it focuses on preparation, clarity, and realism. It looks at how economic pressure works, how past strikes have succeeded or failed, and how modern households will experience vulnerability differently than in earlier eras.
This is not about telling anyone what they should do. It’s about making sure people understand what choices actually exist.
Preparation does not equal commitment.
Understanding does not equal agreement.
Information simply expands your options.
The Survival Guide is designed to meet you where you are: cautious, skeptical, curious, or simply trying to understand the moment we’re living through.
