Labor History: Down The Memory Hole
I find it personally maddening the degree to which right-wingers have pushed their narrative on not just “people,” but the working class and the left.
Specifically, I am constantly butting my head up against the ideology of apathy. I’m not talking about people’s lack of resistance — there’s actually a ton going on right now. What I’m talking about is the internalized oppression of the working class, particularly among radicals. This frequently takes the form of “Americans are too comfortable to resist” or “Americans don’t like radicalism” or some other vague, unverifiable claim that ultimately only serves the agenda of capital and the far right.
