Wayne, you're probably right that this discussion is pretty much played out but no, I'm not the one "leaping past" … that's why I put that phrase in the scare quotes it deserves. It's contentious but I'm definitely not alone in that assessment and what's more, I say it as an extremely bitter and militant working class person.

I have zero confidence in the vast majority of my "fellow workers" … they're utterly mindfucked in to a black pit of false consciousness from which they'll never climb out. Only way that might change is when all the baby boomers and half the gen Xers are dead and gone … and that's only a MAYBE.

The defeat of the working class isn't just my opinion dude! Wake up and smell the corpse of labour politics.
