Milorad M. Drachkovitch also observed the variable success of the general strike in actual use: In Belgium a general strike movement, broken off in one instance without damage to the organizing forces, eventually led to universal suffrage; in Holland a general strike collapsed with disastrous consequences; in Sweden, a general strike was conducted and terminated with disciplined order but did not attain the desired results.
Milorad M. Drachkovitch 也观察到了总罢工在实际使用中的不同成功： 在比利时，总罢工运动在一次不损害组织力量而爆发的情况下最终导致了普选；在荷兰，总罢工崩溃，后果不堪设想；在瑞典，同样进行了总罢工并以严格的秩序终止，但没有取得预期的结果。
