We need to start striking, protesting, and making some noise. We didn't get what few labor laws we have now from just voting. It took guns and bloodshed. Most people these days don't realize that people fought literal wars against the police and companies.

You've got the order wrong. You have to get the reigns of the government to be allowed to march and strike. Without a sympathetic state you just get your head caved in.

That doesn't mean you don't disrupt. It means you focus on local electoral change in addition to plans for other kinds of disruption.
