"...focusing on articulating an idea of class interests that structure society as a number of opposed parts seems a much better response to the trend towards total division we see today"
Thanks for the article George (and Elena). I think people like yourselves, Thomas Fazi, Simon Elmer, Leila, Alex and others have been doing a great job of applying the focus George describes in the quote above. Since the 'flash point' of 2016 and (to my mind at least) accelerated and concentrated during the Covid years. Although the last three years have caused huge division, I also feel this period could be the catalyst for a firmer coalition forming among those members of the working and middle classes that have been demonised by the PMC and Davos Set over that last decade or so. Let's hope so.
From the article - "...concerned elites..." - concerned, not for the well-being of others, but that they should maintain (or rather, increase) their control of the masses?
