[lbo-talk] David Graeber: Caring too much. That's the curse of the working classes

[Joseph Catron]

"One would think a government that has inflicted such suffering on
those with the least resources to resist, without even turning the
economy around, would have been at risk of political suicide. Instead,
the basic logic of austerity has been accepted by almost everyone.
Why? Why do politicians promising continued suffering win any
working-class acquiescence, let alone support, at all?"
