Well, you are entitled to your opinion, but seeing as how that area of SF is still known as one of the birthplaces of hippie culture 30 or 40 years later I think there were enough people to have a lasting effect.
Power is and will always be in the numbers. Sure guns help, but you can't build an economy on guns but you sure as hell can destroy one with them. Call me in 10 years when China takes over and we'll discuss it then.
As far as the strikes are concerned, I am talking about all across North America. The Winnipeg General Strike was a huge strike that I used as an example because it was the first one that came to mind. With roughly 35,000 people involved, it involved the overwhelming majority of the working population in the city. Pretty impressive what a large group of people can accomplish.
