Your last paragraph alone is worth any hundred other posts on this thread:
"Most people" don't politically or historically know their asshole from a hole in the ground. Though this is a free society, it is not entirely their fault; Our educational system, political system, and media are tools of indoctrination, and what Chomsky referred to as "imposed ignorance." This is clearly illustrated by the fact that many working class people have no understanding of their own interests. However, as the excerpt above shows, this wasn't always the case, and there is no reason to believe it must continue to be.
It just amazes me, how vigorously people rush to deny that the current economic system is systematically oppressing them. It's a great pleasure to read what you've posted, my sincere thanks.
