[QUOTE="22LR, post: 570893, member: 24005"] Thank you. I think to a large extent that workers are trained to follow the appeals and rhetoric of our "leaders and representatives" (along with being trained to take orders, follow schedules set by other people, "know our place" in the social order, and accept our positions because since "anyone can get rich if they work hard enough" we must deserve our conditions) in capitalist society. It starts from an early age. With that understanding, I don't "point the spear down" toward members of my own class. I do my best to struggle along side them while convincing them of the need to "point the spear up" towards our exploiters. Though of course it's next to impossible to debate with people who rely on raw emotion and rhetoric while completely ignoring concrete facts. It all depends on where you are too. I grew up in the coalfields. There was never any question of an ongoing struggle between the bosses and the workers in my house, neighborhood, etc. Since you agree with what I've posted, I'd encourage you to check our PoWR and get involved. Solidarity [/QUOTE]
