With so many saying "the economy" is why they voted for this regime, it's going to be excepionally difficult to convince them to make their own economic prospects worse by striking.

The other issue with a general strike here is that the people backing this up have more money than $deity, and I'm sure that they realize that they have more than a single person could resonably spend in a lifetime. I think that would lead to an acceptable tradeoff of smaller "income" for more power.

I'm afraid a general strike would just be ignored.
