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.
