    If even 10-20% of the workforce just refused to go to work until were met, most businesses and politicians would cave within days/weeks.

    This is why it’s important for capitalism to perpetuate poverty. If the majority had ample savings and were able to survive for months without a paycheque, they would be able to enact change comparatively easily and painlessly, they would be able to refuse and quit shit jobs, they would have time to invest in grass roots movements, campaigns, and protests.
