I definitely think unions are critical to opposing fascism, but I don't expect a general strike to be successful without violence from the state.
There was often violence against unions in the past. It wasn’t always met with violence in return. Neither violence, nor pacifism, guarantees victory.
All I'm saying is to expect violent resistance from the state most of the time if a strike is effective enough and large enough.
