There’s always a class war, its simply a question of whether you’ve realized where you are in it. And yes every technology revolution displaced workers with a promise of better material and labor conditions by whatever form of domination was en vogue. Those better conditions never materialized from the firm owner, only through direct action like the haymarket affair and others did modern labor practices start changing. The anti-cooperative propaganda in the U.S. has been so effective since WWII that *any* sense of cooperative organizing is seen as unrealistic and childish at best, or evil perversion of the righteousness of domination at worst. So if you don’t care about individual liberty then yeah everything is just fine provided you’re in the bourgeoisie. I do actually think this time is different because all and I mean ALL of the infrastructure for revolt has been eradicated through consumption. Good luck having a secret meeting of a few hundred revolutionaries or organizing an action deliberately. |
