Voting for the Democratic Party is absolutely useless. There is a whole hidden history of anti-labor fuckery even from "progressive" Democrats - FDR, for example, deliberately placed all those Army bases constructed in the mid 30s in the South, the least labor friendly region of the country. He also borrowed the rationale for Social Security from the Townsend Plan - that contented seniors would be unlikely to overturn the social order. Truman threatened to draft striking railroad workers. LBJ and the capitalist unions of the AFL-CIO supported 'Nam. American liberals are garbage, not so much because they are compromises- they are not radical at all - but because their endorsed form of capitalism is more nefarious.

You are useless to the working class. And in the event of revolution you and Classic X would set your differences aside and rally to the standard of the owning class.

Dude, I employed working class people for several years. Here's your problem, you have this silly notion in your head that this country is owned by a few when it's actually owned by millions of people these days. Right now, the Left is trying to flip the script and the America Right is well aware of of it. I hate to say it but 90% of what the Left is selling is bullshit that easily sold to half wits and idiots. The whole Yankee Republican vs Confederate Democrats ended around 160 years ago and the Democrats are still fighting it and trying to win. You and I see the same problem with the Democrats a long with everyone else who isn't a Democratic voter or a Biden voter these days. I wonder what the snowbirds who voted him think about all the new COVID problems that Biden's policies are creating for them now.

No, there is one proletariat. One bourgeoisie. And a scattering of petit-bourgeois and artisans and lumpen.
