Dude straight up reached under the superstructure and pulled it up to show the ocean of resentment and righteous malice working class people have for the elites

The collective mind is willing, but the body politic is drowned by the old reactions and false consciousness

i dont think even the most cynical leftist doubted that the material conditions in the US have declined enough that there is some widespread sympathy for revolution, even before the CEOvering. the problem has always been organizing that sympathy into a coherent left movement, a front on which we've made 0 progress and on which we show no signs of making progress

I have a theory that many right-wingers have the same problems with the system as we do, but their understanding of it is just wrong.

I related more with my gun-toting, trump supporting coworker in conversations than I ever did with my libshit coworker.

He could talk about how the rich own everything, mentioned how the pandemic was the biggest transfer of wealth to the rich, etc. but then he would end up with libertarian views instead of communist ones, it's shocking.

I don't know how we'll ever shed light to them, but they hate rich people just as much as we do, unlike the liberals who idolize any rich person that does performative justice.
