[Edited Message Follows] Good, thought provoking article. The precariat -- of which was mostly a member -- can be far more open to Marxism based on our experience and the stress of it. A poem I wrote which speaks to that reality:
*P.I.S.S.* Proletarian. Insecurity Stress Syndrome It's always with us, the us who must toil under the cold watchful eyes of bosses the incessant measured march of the clock the murmur of the mysterious duplicities of management. The chill nervousness of the scrutinized, the sick tightness in the knotted gut when the manager says, Step into my office. The tensing of every muscle as we look into the abyss of projected rejection destitution the flashbacks that haunt every hint of trouble doubling our stress, our insecurity our blood pressure wearing us down on this nightmare tightrope above hard times. This chronic condition that plagues our workaday slumber deprived alienated lives with no known cure but the unified resistance of our critical masses when we're pissed enough to be done with it once and for all. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
