M.G.: Today’s demonstrators are more alienated from the working class mainstream
I pointed out he gave no evidence. M.B. offers: They shut down freeways where working people are forced to commute to and from work. The percentage of protesters over the last 16 months who got onto freeways strikes me as having been pretty small. We can still agree freeway demos are not good tactics. Naivete, though, does not count as evidence that demonstrators are alienated from the working class. To the contrary, one must ask what percentage of demonstrators are workers, and what percentage consciously hate capitalist oppression/exploitation of workers (whether they have any clear notion of a solution or alternative). My impression (not evidence) is that compared with the 1960s today's demonstrators are more representative today of the working class as a whole in terms of their socio-economic position. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
