No, electoral politics won't ever get the job done, however we're also long past the point of a general strike being enough on its own.
Fascism has been here longer than people are comfortable to admit, but it is going in to full blast mode now, and the masks are well and truly off, those in power will not hesitate to use whatever force they need to to maintain it, and that requires full forced self defence in return, not playing nice (which is what a strike is).

the american government has ariel bombed its bombed its citizens before. they will do it again. and i will point out the workers who got bombed last time knew that was a possibility. they were storming machine gun emplacements for the right to only work 40 hours a week. our ancestors fought to the death to make our world more survivable for us

Meanwhile, people today don't have enough gumption to quit their shit job and try another one.
Last two perfectly good jobs I left was because they annoyed the fuck out of me. Got a 30% and 50% pay bump both times. Hell, even if you can't do that, you can at least move laterally.
Quiet quitting is for losers. QUIT

If the government wanted to give me free pomegranates, I wouldn't complain. It seems more likely we'll get pineapples...
Anyway, it seems obvious in hindsight, but the words do have etymological links.

Those poor, unfortunate souls!

they were unfortunate to have been born into the time they were, but they also did something incredible: they banded together to work together to forge a new world from the ashes of the old. they took a long view towards the world and made a concerted effort to shift things for the better. they were heroes and inspirations
