Advertising lies to us all the time. Trump is a master of advertising. It's why he's been president twice. We've all fallen for scams because of advertising. It's why people still think that Democrats want universal healthcare and communism.
We need to forgive our comrades for falling for advertising and welcome them to the revolution. Getting mad at them and alienating them will prevent the revolution. All working class people are allies who don't know it yet.
So I work for a small community hospital. I have zero input on billing. My hospital is so small and broke that we end up being subsidized by the city/state most years because so many of our patients are uninsured and can't pay for our services. I can't make the hospital operate for free because I have zero influence on billing.
I support a general strike but I'm a doctor that works primarily in an underserved community filled with many immigrants (illegal and otherwise). I would support other people striking, but I feel like I couldn't possibly stop working because my role is a lifeline for workers.
