Warfare is dumb.
The class struggle is a perspective. It points to how blind rich people are to social issues, and how blind the poor are to economic issues. These two need the struggle, gently. Without it, there is either bloody revolution or cruel autocracy.
That's as simple as it gets. Many people get it wrong.
- apercu 1y agoI assure you that poor people are not universally blind to economic issues. lol.
- alganet 1y agoThat's the least important part of my statement. There is a struggle between those who have power and those who don't. This displacement creates blind spots, and also vantage points.
- lawlessone 1y agopoor people can't afford to be blind to economic issues. Rich people have more leeway there.
- alganet 1y agoDo you consider yourself blind to economic issues? Rich or poor? Straight question.
- johnisgood 1y agoI am poor, and if I am blind to economic issues, I will be worse off. I need to be frugal. I need to keep track of the things I am paying. I need to ask myself before each purchase: do I really need it? And so forth... Sure, many poor people might still gamble away their money, or buy stuff they cannot afford, but humans are being humans.
