Comrades, allow me to take this opportunity to say something on this whole "social distancing" ideology. The title say: "If we want everyone to stay home during a coronavirus crisis, we need ..."
I understand that sectors of the rulering class want people to stay home and to forbid mass assemblies. We saw this in China and now in Europe (incl. the country where I am living, Austria). I also understand that sectors of the masses - terrorized and confused by the neverending media propaganda - share this.
But it is - I use a diplomatic formulation and try to be an English - irritating to read such calls for "social distancing" and "stay home" in self-proclaimed progressive publications. What a silly way to serve the class enemy! Sure, those who fear mass unrests want us to stay home with the worst economic slump taking place just now. But we also should want this?! Surely not!
I can only appeal to comrades not to spread such reactionary nonsense. The ruling class has already sufficient access to world of media. They really don't need our help!
