the explanation of why the revolution hasnt happened and why it wont happen unless we change it.
"To maintain the societal status quo and thwart revolution from below, Capitalism developed a “consensus culture”, wherein, the working class (proletariat) identified their best interests with the best interests of the (ruling class) bourgeoisie; besides force (arms) and power (coercion), Capitalism retains control via the hegemonic culture determining the substance of the social institutions (press, radio, Churches, labour unions, et al.) who propagate the ruling class’s ideology (values, myths, beliefs) that the working class accept-adopt as their own “common sense” view — the world as it is and should be."- wikipedia
this theory clearly explains why the those damned tea parties have lower class citizens at them and not the rich. how can we break the workers and poor of the U.S. and all other countries from these blinders. Chavez has succeeded quite well but here in more developed western nations the capitalists have much more control of people basic lives. i dont see how we can do it. So it is up to us which are seen by the main stream as lunatic nazis to show the workers that we are not nazis and to educate them to their plight or do we wait untill the workers see their own problems and break their own chains because as long as this cultural hegemony exists communism cant
