grcorre re: payment boycott
I think the first thing that will happen is the corporatist Congress will enact a law making non-payment illegal. Of course it is ridiculous, but so is everything else they’ve done in the last 6 years (minimum). The first people (perhaps only) they’ll arrest for this new crime are the ringleaders of the original movement.
It is simply impossible to outlaw non-consumption. That is why I think it is a better choice of protest. But I am not saying this is an either-or proposition. I think that if you can convince a bunch of people to do what you suggest, that is great. If I can convince a bunch of people (so far, none btw) to do what I suggest, that would be great. I think both together would be effective.
