[lbo-talk] [Marxism] Why aren?t the poor storming the barricades?

[Gar Lipow]

Also why the focus on the poor. Plenty of the working class are not poor.
Plenty of the middle classes (using the narrowest of definitions) are no
better off than the prosperous part of the working class.  And it is the
whole working class, and a large sector of the middle classes for whom
things are getting worse.
