@Vashper when was that pic of Trotsky taken? Doesn't look like an old pic, at least not to me.

There are movies and books about a sector of the economy staging a sitdown/sick-out for a day/week/month and relating the effects. The stories generally involve law enforcement or military as those withholding their services- but what if the entire working class- manufacturing, transportation, finance, civil service, law enforcement and within the US military all called a holiday of a week? The news is full of actions by those that are preparing for such an event- have you noticed how many new gun owners there are or how much food and supplies are purchased in addition to normal consumption?

Just get the farmers to stop providing food. That will provide a dose of reality in a hurry.

I do not know that. But I know that Trotsky emigrated from the USSR in 1929, and the first KFC restaurant opened in 1930.
I'm kidding. Probably, these are photos of this time.

Trotsky in Exile

Rare images of the aging revolutionary in his walled refuge, as his life ticked down. By Bertrand M. Patenaude.

In general, he liked to take pictures and pose.

I doubt CONAGRA, et al would oppose the establishment.

@Ray B so you’re suggesting that all American workers “organize” and stand down from their jobs until certain demands have been met?

If only someone had thought of this earlier, oh wait, they have, and the right wing has spent plenty of time and money making sure these “communist” ideas are crushed.

No way man!
1. The farmers would be the first to starve, and
2. The idiots might try to hunt!

@Aaron N I see no way that you could come to the conclusion that you expressed without projection..

Let the trucking industry shut down for seven days…demand opening the keystone pipeline and open drilling and fracking to lower fuel prices, stop the wastefull spending, disguised as nothing more but to buy votes, and the country would come to its knees. That, my fellow citizens will get Washington’s attention, and they will understand who they truly work for. Although it will never happen.….. The production of goods is of little value without the ability to transport that item to areas of demand. The transportation system in this country, trucking, especially, is taken for granted, but is responsible for moving a huge percentage of freight that supports everyday living.

LOL, as a farmer of sorts I can assure you that I will not starve whether food leaves my farm for the city or not!

Can you show me on this doll where the variants touched you?

A little stale, but the sentiment is still the same, just update with the leftist of your choice…

LOL I know, I was being a little facetious. I’ve been a potato producer for 30 years with a couple thousand acres or sweetcorn and peas thrown in annually for good measure. With all the stuff I pulled when I was young, it’s hard to believe I’ve lived this long but when I go, it won’t be from starvation.
