Fwd: 'Gas-out' apr 7-9

[Jim heartfield]

The approach of the monopoly capital theorists was always suspect. It
involved isolating reactionary capital (auto industry, finance etc) from
"progressive" capital, small employers, farmers - all that populist
stuff. The auto industry is no more or less evil than any other part of
capital. It is the social relation that is reactionary, not a specific
element of the production process.
