Attack the System- Let’s talk about what Trump missed at CPAC 2nd March 2021The last thing either party wants to focus on is bread and butter issues. That’s why they’re doubling down on culture war issues because they hope they can use those as a permanent distraction from issues that actually threaten the class interests of those running both parties.Keith Preston
- The Two Middle Classes 2nd March 2021By Joel Kotkin, Quillette Politicians across the Western world like to speak fondly of the “middle class” as if it is one large constituency with common interests and aspirations. But, as Karl Marx observed, the middle class has always been divided by sources of wealth and worldview. Today, […]Keith Preston
