Point 2) from your post was the most important, at least for us in the US. But just because those vast wastelands of post-industrial US are empty now doesn't mean that they are entirely lost and forgotten to historical conscieousness. For one thing, you can always get in the car and go visit, which is what Chris Hedges did recently. Michael Moore is another. Hedges calls them sacrifice zones. Arun Gupta went to Youngstown and recently noted that before there was Detroit there was Youngstown.

^^^^ CB: The reports that Detroit is empty and a wasteland are exaggeration and slander (smiles). The struggle continues; victory is certain. When the proletariat revives, this will be revolutionary center.
