We can do lots of reco's but first one must acknowledge who wields power? Both parties are now almost completely funded by the corporations, in order to win elections. So, in manner the US is an effective oligarchy. If one contends that billionaires only fund the reps, then it's selective view of the world can be proven wrong, quickly. In Animal Farm fashion, the sheep bah-out, "rep billionaires baaaad, dem billionaires baaaattter," or more properly, it never get acknowledged by dem faithful. Eventually, all this will change with automation doing all work, like robots, and GPT-x filing lawsuits or defending their clients before a similarly automated judge. Now how will the rich stay rich with nobody being able to purchase goods and services because, no jobs, or no domestic jobs?

They just know what they hate, and what they hate is the rest of us, those who identify as Americans as opposed to citizens of the world. The middle class is increasingly oppressed by the globalists, the ruling class that fund both parties, in an exchange of campaign donations, for favorable treatment, regulations, and laws from the paying corporations. This is a class war unlike what Engel's and Marx dreamed of. The class terminology you employ was essentially forged by Marx and no, he actually did see the paradox of a class of owners that would constantly be incentivized to push down real labor costs/salaries in the face of relatively stable production costs in the name of holy profits. The constant increasing robbery and the myriads of crises that this state of affairs entails, which all end up benefiting upper classes; each and every time... that's their basic argument. I would say that the trend of human history is now, not in favor of globalism, because of its predatory treatment of the middle class, thus, making it on the wrong side of history. For example, Sony's funding of BLM seems disingenuous to the extreme, and the board of directors, Sony, definitively, have zero to do, much, with their paying customers. So what is really going on here? Whatever it is, the result will never be a redress of legitimate grievances, but rather the exacerbation of extremist actions. As long as working and middle classes stay focused on blame games, listen to authoritarians, dabble in racism, stumbling from one crises into the next... the "globalists" as you call them, will keep winning. Part of my generation by now has grown adaptive enough to swim along with whatever everybody seems to want. Want racism and authoritarians? Fine, we'll adapt. Want UBI and working class empowerment? We can do that too... but we're not betting y'all have the balls. We don't have the balls to agree on pandemic survival without falling for the sirens of transparent disinformation, so tackling class seems quite the tall order and on the verge of laughable.
