In theory, yes. In practice, nobody can afford to strike.

Silly liberals, your strategy of standing on the streets pales in comparison with my strategy of sitting at home.

Protest by itself achieves exactly jack shit. It’s a tool, effective in conjunction with all the others, but you can’t expect any change if you just put 3.5% of people on the streets. They will fuck around aimlessly, and then go home.
