[MD] The Class War Has Begun

[Michael R. Brown]

Marsha V -

The Nazi Party, the Communist Party, David DuKKKe, Noam "Genocide is 
Understandable" Chomsky, and Bill "Didn’t Make Enough Bombs" Ayers have all 
endorsed the Occupants.

That's fine company!

Why, it's almost up to the non-existent racial epithets hurled at Dem 
lawmakers as they signed Obalosireidcare into existence. (A portion of which 
was just rejected since it was unfundable.)

[ Horse: I thought we weren't supposed to be talking about this matter, but 
if MV gets a pass, then I should be able to reply. ]

Here's a slapdash relevance: would Lila be an Occupant? What would Phaedrus 
think of 'em?

These efforts to domesticate and contain the protests are unlikely to 
succeed. It is not frustration that’s roiling America but anger, the anger 
of a full-fledged class war. Try as polite company keeps trying to ignore 
it, that war has been building in this country and abroad for much of this 
decade and has been waged in earnest in America since the fall of 2008. But 
the crisp agenda demanded of Occupy Wall Street will not be forthcoming. The 
inchoateness of our particular class war is central to its meaning. America 
is notTahrir Square or the riot-scarred precincts of North London, where 
everyone knows at birth who is in which class and why. We pride ourselves on 
being a “classless” democracy. We abhor ideology. When Americans left and 
right, young and old, express anger at an overclass, they don’t necessarily 
agree about who’s on which side of that class divide. The often confusing 
fluidity of class definitions, especially in an America as polarized as ours 
is now, may make our home­grown class war more volatile, not less.
