Sure, I don't disagree with that.

What I'm saying is you've structured this like an instruction manual, but have the steps in the wrong order.

In my experience with local organising (I'm a trustee of the local foodbank) doing the actions in the order you've laid out would cause the vast majority to disengage immediately, and I live in an area with higher than average unionisation and left wing tendencies.

You know that for a general strike to be successful it has to be massive - 10s of millions of workers - and in effect for a very long time. For that to be possible, people need to be secure in their housing, their access to food, and to heat. If any of those fail, the strike fails.

For those to be a success, parallel power structures - mutual aid, etc - need to already be in place.

So, if you want to structure this as a 3 step instruction manual, my recommendation is that it's

  • Create local security for food and housing
  • Join One Big Union
  • Strike until you win

If the intent is to get people started down a good path, then it should focus on first steps, which is community organising.

The people who are already open to unions are already in them. Because of 50 years of neo-liberal shite people do not understand class consciousness and view themselves simply as isolated, powerless, consumers.

You can break that view of themselves through community efforts - like gardens, allotments, etc - because they demonstrate their own abilities to themselves, and how working together benefits us all.

And then, you can start pushing for more official efforts and organisation.

"How to win" is not "Just Do The Thing".

Building community and local organising is a pre-requisite to any sort of collective action. The idea that that somehow comes after a general strike is mad.

All resistance starts between people who know each other. Talking to your neighbours, helping each other out, sharing tools and skills, etc, are all required before you can be all "join the one big union and go on perpetual strike".

If you, as a person, cannot organise a community garden, you cannot organise a general strike.

As I sat down to enjoy WWE Money in the Bank Presented by Cash App®, excitedly awaiting to see who was going to scale the Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey™ Ladder and maybe come crashing through the Snap Into a Slim Jim™ Folding Table, I decanted my Wheatley American Vodka®, glanced over at my package of emergency-use Dude Wipes® and couldn’t help but think WWE has changed over the past year or two; I just couldn’t quite put my finger on how. I bit into a Snickers®, because You’re Not You When You’re Hungry™, cracked open a Prime® and then it hit me: anybody else notice there are a lot of ads on WWE television these days?
