By this do you mean, everyone getting a fair share of the pie, sort of
thinking?
If so, could this have happened in response to the rabid Anti-Communist
years. (which I think are still with us, controlling us), and to the
working-class being bought off by the vigor of capitalism after a crisis,
the Social Dems, and the GI bill? The distraction of racism. Oops, rambling...

Anyway, I'm enjoying a much needed Marcuse seminar, but that last sentence
lost me.  Please go on.
