The Secession of the Plebs with Rohan Heatley
The Secession of the Plebs with Rohan Heatley
Secessio plebis (withdrawal of the commoners, or secession of the plebs) was an informal exercise of power by Rome's plebeian citizens, similar in concept to the general strike.
During the secessio plebis, the plebs would abandon the city en masse in a protest emigration and leave the patrician order to themselves. Therefore, a secessio meant that all shops and workshops would shut down and commercial transactions would largely cease.
This was an effective strategy in the Conflict of the Orders due to strength in numbers; plebeian citizens made up the vast majority of Rome's populace and produced most of its food and resources, while a patrician citizen was a member of the minority upper class, the equivalent of the landed gentry of later times.
We need a general strike, we need to withdraw our consent, we need to stop buying their disposable shit, and we need to get out into the streets and remind the patrician who is really in charge.
We the people are in charge - wakey wakey.
