Seeing the force of the unification of the workers and even their small strikes, some think that it is worth the workers to organize a general strike throughout the country — and the workers can get from the capitalists and the government everything they want.
This opinion was expressed by the workers of other countries, when the labour movement had only just begun and the workers were still very inexperienced. But that opinion is wrong.
The strike is one of the means of the working class’s struggle for its liberation, but not the only means, and if the workers do not pay attention to other means of struggle, they will thus slow the growth and success of the working class.
In fact, for strikes to succeed, cash is needed to hold workers during strikes. c) and v. Lenin
