The Unions? The Democratic Party? Grassroots activists in WI? National netroots activists?
Serious question. In my minsd the degree of popular discontent that was mobilized in Wisconsin is one of the few bright spots on the left so far this year. I think the recall elections petition drives that were triggered by the protests is definite forward motion.
Again, I am not opposing the idea of a general strike. Mostly I'm thinking about how to bring social energy to a boil, which is part of what is needed for a General Strike to work.
