A general strike would be one example.
It's hard to have an army without an economy, and it's hard to effectively enslave a nation by forcing them to work at gunpoint.
Sure, that can work but not without a lot of casualties.
Armed or not, the state will send armed forces to break the strike violently.
Don’t forget the lessons learned in Blair Mountain and Tiananmen Square.
