What's wrong with class warfare?

1. Honey, the way these banks are going, I'm beginning to wonder myself. nt

[Orrex]

2. Class warfare began before history and has never come close to ending

The only ones who don't want to talk about it are the ones who are benefiting hugely from it.

18. there is another group

There is another group, who benefit only in relatively small ways, but who in exchange for some status and security, and the vicarious pleasure of identifying emotionally with the winners, promote the interests of the wealthiest 1% in the country consistently and relentlessly. Unfortunately, they dominate and control the discussion in the party. This is the source of much of the division and contention within the party, and the reason that it is so difficult to establish an effective united front against the political right wing. As the general public moves dramatically to the Left, they are now fighting a frantic and desperate rear guard action and attacking anyone expressing any hint of economic populism or left wing political ideas.

14. I believe it was Warren Buffet who said

"Of course theres a class war going on, and my class, the rich, are winning it."

[anonymous171]

4. That it can only be legitimately waged against the lower classes

[liberalmuse]

5. Nothing at all.

I'm starting to pull the garden tools out of storage.

6. Depends on the form of government and which side you are on.

CW sucks if you are poor in an aristocracy, but sucks if you are rich in a democracy.

7. I never win.

[LeftyMom]

8. Nothing. What's wrong is failing to realize that it's already happening.

9. Not a damn thing!

The class that most of are not in has been winning for far too long. It's time that we who are in the class that has been losing take it to them!

[BlooInBloo]

10. Nothing. It's just shit rich republicans make up. Rather like christianity promoting...

"turn the other cheek", so that the people in power can keep clocking the masses with impunity.

It's funny that people fall for that shit.

[gravity]

11. Because the economy isn't a zero sum game

Good economic policy benefits everyone.

When you start trying to have policies that favor one class or another, it is going to create problems down the road.

[baldguy]

12. For the rich, nothing.

For the middle-class & the poor, everything.

At least that's what they want you to think.

[Orwellian_Ghost]

13. What do you mean?

Class warfare is being waged with relentless intensity every moment of every day.

As to whether folks acknowledge this or not can depend on how deeply they are physically/ideologically invested in the status quo.

And of course it's being waged against us. Nonstop.

[Muttocracy]

15. mostly the way some people selectively apply the term :-)

16. n/m

[Two Americas]

17. it is killing us, that's what

Class warfare is already happening. The problem is that we are not fighting back.

[Boojatta]

19. It bothers the teacher.

Warfare should be confined to the recess period.
