That's what a strike does - fucks with their money. Shut down the oligarch's factories, shut off their profit-making systems, and then and ONLY then will you get that smug smirk off the oligarchs' faces and force them to deal with you.

Protests for show won't work - that's why Code Pink is completely ineffective - they shriek during a congressional hearing, the sergeants at arms drag them out, throw them in jail, then the oligarchs smirk and go back to fucking us. Because Code Pink only knows how to put on a show. They do not know how to fuck with their money.

What does work is French tactics like general strikes and blocking highways - it delays everyone, prevents goods, services and money from being delivered, and hits the oligarchs right in the pocketbooks. The French know how to fuck with the oligarchs' money.

That's why they get more done than we do - we're not willing to hit the subhuman fucks in their pocketbooks, so all they do is laugh at us.

We're too chickenshit to actually hit them in a way that hurts. Historically, look what happens when we do what is required to win - fuck with the money. They come out with their big guns, in some cases Pinkertons with actual guns, along with cops and National Guard troops, sent when it's politically impossible to send them for any other more humanitarian mission, to prevent we the people from fucking with their money. We have to be stronger than the oligarchs and their Pinkertons. We have to stand like the Egyptians and Libyans did - even in the face of lethal force, and fuck with their money.

The goal is to make exploiting us, with the consequence of us striking back by fucking with their money, more expensive than giving us concessions that keep us in the middle class.

Until we learn that lesson, we'll continue to get the red-white-and-blue shaft every single day. Because we're too meek to do the only thing that works - fucking with their money.
