In the modern U.S reality of the precaricate, most clock-punching stiffs without a specific trade move from one kind of job and employment to another. Sometimes we we wear ties and work lower management (a scam omitting overtime). Sometimes we do service work. Sometimes we work in production or deliver pizzas and sometimes we are "self-unemployed" providing services under the table. As the publisher of a working class journal, I've seen many versions of this. What remains consistent is insecurity, resentment (sometimes misplaced) and alienation. Interestingly, I've been getting more response and progressive writing from states like Tennessee, North Carolina, West Virginia, Georgia and other conservative bastions. Could be a good sign.
The vital thing is to share the common working class experience and perspective that can unite us beyond cultivated bourgeois partisan divisions around shared injustices. Thus the importance of culture which the extreme right has had a better grasp of than the left -- at least since the 1940's. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
