I don't know where you live in Ohio, but the PSL regularly holds events and demonstrations in Columbus. We have members in Dayton, Cleveland and Columbus. Let me know if you think you'd ever like to come by for an event.

All it takes is a single act of courage. That is usually how Mass Strikes develop in America. A key industry goes on strike and shuts down the subordinate factories. Police, Military would ever go to stop an occupation. The workers out of work in connected industries strike in solidarity. Block by Block, city by city, workers start occupying.

Sometimes it's students. Workers themselves who are usually students take a schools issue to there workplace. The experience they gain organizing student committees can be easily applied to worker committees. The Struggle leaves the school and all of a sudden it's a workplace issue against the politics of society. In this it can also be the parents seeing there kids in all these demonstrations who themselves call out a strike in their workplace in Solidarity.

Your "resisting" is merely defensive, it's for protecting the lousy unions present in Wisconsin. The conditions in Wisconsin are ripe for revolution, the republicans drew the line in the sand between the int rests of the working class and the Bourgeois. This is an attack on workers, not Unions. These are the perfect conditions for Workers' Councils. Obviously going out at calling for Workers' Councils is foolish. Going out and calling for a Wildcat Strike of which develop usually into Workers' Councils is the best alternative. Conditions are present in America for revolution and have been for a while. All it takes is a spark. In Greece, the spark was a 16 year old being shot. All of a sudden everyone was an Anarchist. In America, something like a Workers' Association taking over the means of production is the kind of spark which can set off a wave of Sympathy strikes which develop into a Mass Strike.

Immediate relief is a dangerous route. At what point does relief end and revolution begin? If your organization is dedicated to relief, then tomorrow the revolution begins how does an organization deal with this? Switching over is hard and takes a long time. We don't know when revolutions happen, they are sudden. Alot of times while we're in them we don't realize that it is the revolution.

Plus Feeding the proletariat with the idea that we can reform the system while at the same time calling for revolution seems a bit confusing. Espcially when immediate relief means basically, humane exploitation, but exploitation none the less.

Industrial Unionism has been adopted by my most Unions these days. Including the AFL-CIO. What makes you think they are revolutionary?
