seems like that's a scenario that's most likely to happen in burgerland actually

Subjugating the working class majority is literally the whole point of establishing a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.

Fair, it's more that each one sees themselves as being an antithesis of the other.

Completely and utterly masturbatory. The reality is that the US is extremely polarized politically because the living standards are collapsing. There are basically two competing narratives for why that's happening, and people subscribe to one or the other. The democrats and republicans have fundamentally different world views, so nobody is going to be swayed by the debate. People subscribing to each respective view will hear what they want to hear.

People who will vote for Harris are the ones who think that the dems have been doing a good job for the past three and a half years, meanwhile people who aren't happy with the way things are going will vote against them or stay home. It's that simple.

It demonstrably didn't, but I guess libs will keep repeating this in face of all evidence to the contrary.

The problem with social democracy is that it's fleeting by its very nature. A capitalist society may give some concessions to the working class for a period of time, but those concessions will inevitably be rolled back sooner or later. In fact, this will likely be occurring all across Europe now as austerity measures will be implemented to deal with the unfolding financial crisis.

Yeah, it's a good series overall.

It is rare that you run a book that sucks you in the way Piranesi does.

It left a big impression on me as well, the world the way he sees it is so peaceful and tranquil, but then you start gradually realizing the horrific situation he's actually in. And this contrast between the way the character perceives his circumstances and the reality of the situation is kind of haunting.
