    The problem is the goal of “overthrow the shackles of oppression” may be a valid goal with class self interest in mind…

    But that desire can be manipulated into accomplishing the opposite. And the populist right has shown their ability to harness the fear and insecurity that is growing in this country.

    We desperately need a renewed leftist movement that the average American can get behind. Without some sort of mass movement soon, I see things getting worse before they get better.

      I hope unions accomplish this. All our political parties are unwilling to.
