As a citizen of the United States and a democratic Socialist, I have no problem understanding the special problems of different ethnic groups here. In the final analysis, all forms of oppression and exploitation are explained by CLASS inequality.
The ruling class tactic in dealing with a tense crisis of any aroused group is DIVIDE and CONQUER. But what a vile trick to get white working class people to imagine they have more in common with our ONE PERCENT WASP plutocracy than with the black and Latino immigrant masses.
The Jews here as a whole have no special claim for exploitation or oppression. Many of them are progressive liberals, a few still dedicated socialists. I suspect the ruling class will rediscover their usefulness as scapegoats as the economic crisis of capitalism-this endless Great Recession-festers.
I myself hope for New Deal type programs of reform. But I am beginning to suspect that our ruling class is now "incurably greedy" ( as Lenin thought ) or incurably decadent as some religious people think.
What a day of drama it will be when you WATCHING AMERICA folks learn that our Old Regime is crumbling. No, history has not ended. It does not culminate in the FREE MARKET and Ayn Rand - the crackpot queen of pro-capitalist godlessness.
