About the “general strike”tomorrow
There are 3 types of general strike:
Short strike - lasts for about 24 hours and its purpose is to raise awareness and show symbolism knowing that it won’t have any effect on demands, but will show and demonstrate will of people to cause a change in the future.
Medium strike - lasts for a few days to a week, it’s much more effective than short strikes and are more than just symbolic, it can apply strong pressure on government and can create significant economic crisis, in this case likelihood of government backing down is much higher.
Indefinite general strike - One of the most effective peaceful way to protest, lasts until every demand it met, in this case country can be put to the halt and major economic and political crisis can erupt leaving government with no choice to back down, is capable of causing full crackdown of the government, however it needs very committed protesters and huge organization.
Tomorrow, 3 hour “strike” will take place, which is’t even part of 3 types of strikes, as 3 hour is very short period to be even considered a strike and will have no effect on ongoing situation, so we can’t really call it a general strike, what concerns me is that why was such decision made? At least try 12 hours or a few days, like 3 hours? Really?
