“A strike is an incipient revolution. Many large revolutions have grown out of a small strike.”

- Big Bill Haywood

On my initial visit to the Occupy Wall Street encampment in September, 2011, the first thing I noticed upon exiting the subway was that Wall Street -- the actual street -- had been cordoned off by the NYPD. OWS had been announced for months in advance so the Blue Bloc was under strict orders to make certain that nothing was to hinder business-as-usual.

Much has happened in the realm of activism since that time but nothing that’s caused the earnings of the 1% to suffer. So, what might convert 1% arrogance to 1% anxiety?

Reality: They need us more than we need them.

1. k&r for a general strike.

The OP is correct. TPTB rely on labor, and they can be crippled by it until they have the decency to treat labor well.
