[lbo-talk] Toilet Ladies of Berkeley

[amadeus amadeus]

You guys are hella funny. I suppose I don't need to
say from my standpoint that it seems to be a standard
occurence in capitalist society where community
resources are stretched thin. Everyone, regardless of
how "privileged", better, or worse off they think they
are, gets highly irrational and starts staking
whatever claim they have. This goes from the poor to
the disabled to the deaf, to the grey-haired white
ladies with granny glasses. And it is to the ultimate
benefit of a tiny group of bourgeoisie, reaping from
the subdivisions of privilege within the working class
in advanced capitalism.
