I am new on the list and concerned that I raise an issue already thoroughly hashed out, but if not:

If the working class was fully class conscious, given what we know about the failures of socialism as we knew it, what would the working class know? What questions would the ruling class be unable to answer--or feel desperate to mask? What central issues should egalitarian democratic educators see as centripetal?

Life travels upward in spirals.

Those who take pains to search the shadows

of the past below us, then, can better judge the

tiny arc up which they climb,

more surely guess the dim

curves of the future above them.
