First, I apologize for the delay in getting this episode together. Our car suddenly died during the worst possible time in my entire life to have to actually purchase a new car, let alone in a hurry.
That said, I am very proud of this episode! I hope you folks enjoy it!
Today I want to talk about class, solidarity, and the labor struggle.
I’m going to argue that the way we use class in the united states is purposefully misleading, intentionally vague and, ultimately, destructive.
Class, when defined properly, is an incredibly important concept. But, as we will see, the way we talk about class in the united states borders on gibberish. Terms like the middle class and upper middle class are absolute nonsense.
The key to making real, lasting change in the country is the working class, the vast amounts of wage workers who truly make this country run and generate value all throughout the economy.
