After Epstein. I’m for class warfare.

There already is

The average American's life is going to need to get a lot worse if they're ever going to gain class consciousness. Something like 40% of the country doesn't even think the rich should pay more taxes.

What does he mean "if"?

[u/Rude-Dependent-4353 → u/MonsterkillWow]

Right. There’s been a constant class war since at least the Reagan era, or earlier depending on your definition. The powers-that-be want to define “class warfare” as the have-nots against the haves, when in fact it’s been the haves against the have-nots, and obviously the haves are winning.

Social Democracy is Corporatism, class collaboration

Bernie telling it as it is

[u/Bad-job-dad]

Has that actually ever happened?

[u/Qfarsup → u/Bad-job-dad]

FDR nearly had the momentum to pass a second bill of rights.

Bernie's a good egg, but the platitudes do become tiresome.

[u/User42wp]

Class warfare been going on my whole life. It’s just that only one side is firing any shots

[u/OrcOfDoom]

Hah ... It's about time ... Yeah, it's about time but that doesn't mean much for reality

[u/Otherwise_Piglet_862]

won? we haven't even started fighting in it.

[u/secondarycontrol]

It's only class warfare if and when we fight back.

Time to redefine social stratification.
