I really hope, though I doubt it, that this is a turning point in the culture war and we can get back to the class war.

As long as CEO’s have a single moment of “Will this decision I’m about to make mean people might actually shank me?” resides in their thought processes, the world benefits.

Unfortunately, all that will get through their heads is, ‘I better hire more cops to babysit me’.

If you are referring to “the only ‘war’ that matters is the class war” then I completely disagree.

There’s a lot of struggles that people have to endure that have nothing to do with class and any failure to understand this will leave many bad parts of the system in place in people’s minds and the structures of society.

Being elevated back to a class where they belong could resolve a lot of those problems…instead they are being suppressed and pushed further downwards resulting in MORE struggles.

I do not agree that ‘elevating’ someone back to a certain class will solve racism, for example.

Such an idea is an overly simplistic ‘solution’ to ingrained, structural issues and modes of thinking.

They must be tackled at the true root of such a problem, things like white supremacy which are not inherently to do with ‘class’ but a political ideology and way of seeing the world far beyond the limits of ‘class’ could ever hope to understand.
