Yeah, before that the U.S. was a paradise for leftists.
Really, this makes no sense at all.
Doyle;
Broadly speaking we know the labor movement of the thirties in the
U.S. was much more robust than now. The pressure that suppressed
communists and socialists after WWII in the cold war affected the
debate. The sixties while powerful in some ways was not a strong left
movement. Not classed based.
In the sense of your response, when people entertain different
perspectives it often is so - that neither can make sense of the
other. My mistake in the past was to see your view as antithetical to
mine. Instead of learning from the challenge. I'm confident that my
contention makes sense to many people, and that is a political force
not economic force. What I mean is hard times shape sentiments about
what to do. And an appeal to robust attitudes is more apt than as
some say here waving their arms.
thanks,
Doyle Saylor
