  • If a significant portion the US population went on general strike, things would change quickly.

    This requires people willing and able to do so. Considering most Americans live paycheck to paycheck I don’t see this as real and viable currently.

    The other option, which is slower, is to build up alternative systems in a network of mutual aid, like cooperatively owned insurance, businesses, housing, energy systems, etc. Essentially slowly replace the state with hundreds of interconnected coops.

    This issue i see with this approach is that some people will always try to be the opposite and we end up in a stalemate. Also, people can be ignorant and not even understand that there is something that needs to be done. There’s so much misinformation in the world today.
