When is the Right Time to Go on Strike (a la Atlas Shrugged)?

By George Donnelly | April 7, 2008

Over at Objectivist Living, Matus1976 asks When to Strike?

I wonder what objective criteria … people might suggest would be a reasonable dividing line … when they themselves [feel] compelled to strike, or perhaps when we ought to be morally obligated (if ever) to strike.

Perhaps we go by a general rating of economic freedom? Percentage of Taxation?

I’m all for armed resistance but personally I’m waiting till they start putting dissenters in concentration camps.

What do you think?
