The American factory as Dante might see it : " Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here ! "

To be sure , working class people always know the TRUTH about their own lives - whatever their political confusion. They put up with capitalism as a fact of life . But don't even try to SELL CAPITALISM to working class America. Don't try to put lipstick on the class enemy pig .
At age 71 I have never met a working class person not receptive to socialist ideas -like SHARE THE WEALTH. 

The wife of my friend, working as a young girl employed at " Imperial Knife " factory, witnessed a worker there IMPALED ( who later died ) by a flying piece of sharp metal. Those moribund Providence , R.I. sweatshops were never unionized . [ " At its peak, Imperial Knife employed 1,000 workers in the Jewelry District complex, 18 Imperial Place. In 1998, operations were moved to Ellenville, NY. The company – at that point called Imperial Shrade Corporation – closed in 2004. " ]

Even today there should be a sign on the entrance to most American factories worthy of the Inferno poet Dante : " Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here ! "
