this is how you fight capitalism

This IS a good strategy, and maybe SHOULD be considered in other cases, but we definitely can not have an attitude that ‘Strikes are the GOOD kind when they continue to provide me service and/or don’t inconvenience me at all’

or say ‘Now THIS is how you fight Capitalism!’--because I promise you that most strikes are NOT GOING TO BE CONVENIENT FOR CONSUMERS/CUSTOMERS, that is a reality we’re going to have to get used to and be prepared to deal with if we want people to show solidarity towards workers fighting against exploitation from their bosses. 

The point in solidarity is that we’re all in this together and support each other, not just when its convenient to us.
