The New Class War: divided working class people are excluded from economic, political & cultural power structures by united elite neoliberal overclass

[basquebromance]

We have not had genuine democracy for several generations. What we have is oligarchy. Ten per cent of the population supplies the leadership in business, media and government. Policy reflects their class interests

The New Class War Isn’t a Culture War

Since Trump’s victory, authors like Michael Lind have portrayed the “white working class” as victims of metropolitan elites. But seeing the class war as a culture war overlooks working people’s greatest strength: our power to fight for our common interests, above cultural divides.

What we have is also powerful employment unions. Where the union and its stranglehold are great for the employees and perhaps not so good for the who is served. One reason why infrastructure and growing is hampered. School unions are an example, and nothing is done. Many African Americans in those unions. They live well. Good pensions also. However, the African Americans as students in inner cities do not do as well. Perhaps if they are for pure socialism, they must give up some salary and benefits and some of their pensions for the greater good. Of course, that is not what is happening. Someone else pays. This inflation for the last two years is now in reality about 20%. Someone else is paying. Somewhere.

There is no such thing as a school union, there are teacher unions yet not every teacher is in a union.

You know what I was meaning. These games are destroying us. I am not on the field. I am in the stands. I do not tell people how to act. Although I may suggest. For I am not perfect. I tell you what the end is. And you should know it. We have decades of proof that the public school system is not working well in many areas. We are a nation where we fill up a 4-ounce champagned glass with a bottle of champagne continuously and it overflows endlessly. So, we waste so much because we live off the past and have two massive oceans to defend it.
