But….but….in America, it’s a sin to talk about class struggle. Since the 1950’s it has been taboo to objectively discuss such an issue. The irony is…despite there being no laws against a Communist Party, or a Workers Party or Socialist Party; the corporate media and the political establishment has made it clear that such orientations shall be deemed radical and subversive. Folks like Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and now Zohran Mamdani have finally broken through to encourage an open minded discourse.
Hopefully your Substack here will open the discussion even wider.
Thank you comrade! We REALLY are in basic, elementary level learning about socialism down here in Texas. We have to meet people where they are, and we appreciate easy, relatable content like this!
There used to be such a thing as class consciousness in Australia, but that has disappeared in the last few decades. We don't have a "working class" anymore, we have "working families." The language shifts to fragment the notion of class identity and therefore the very idea of class solidarity.
You'll also find words like "solidarity" - a recognition of common interest and support for each other based on that, tends to have negative connotations. Establishing that solidarity (which is especially important for the US working class with all the shit you are going through right now) is the first step. The IWW (international workers of the world) started in the US. Time to reclaim our collective (another word they don't like!) labor history and move it forward to the new age.
Trump a master marketer? my friend, you are wrong, is one orange clown, if peoples were trinned to swallow without look or think western Morgans & Murdochs bullshite propaganda by tv for decades and half of morrikan public are idiotized with him is another thing. by the way, he's one fascit, that use the force against other countries with tariffs and threats, and the Army in the street against his ows to impose his "kingdo of lies" . This is not to be a master, instead, one vulgar jerk as well as those who sat before him as President.

Thank you, 😊 I don’t have much social pressure to talk about class struggles, I guess that’s an advantage.
The working class in the USA lost the class war and they didn't even know that there was a class war.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
So very interesting

That explains why I have never liked the term "working families"
I'm an unwed worker, lots of Americans are, but I understand it's deliberate now, meant to divide us, of course. Thank you comrade!

Since “every boy can grow up to be president” as we were told, then clearly it’s all my own fault.
