[lbo-talk] Analysis of Tea Party

[Wojtek S]

[WS:] An interesting piece, indeed.  It outlines the social changes that
made left narrative unpopular.  The only thing that I would add is that the
change was not mainly cultural (shift toward individualistic culture) as the
article suggest, but material.  The phenomenal productivity of the
capitalist system made it possible to satisfy more and more individual and
idiosyncratic demands from housing and transportation to personal digital
devices.  Since being determines consciousness, cultural changes toward
individualism that the article outlines followed.
