The thing is, Gary isn't saying anything new. He is basically preaching exactly what Marx did over 150 years ago. Back when the working class was open to those idea, it led to real change in the US. The 8 hr work day, the 40 hr workweek. The pressure to appease the working class and prevent a workers revolution greatly influenced the New Deal, which in turn created the huge middle class the US had for so long.
Old ideas, but a new presentation. He is putting a nice spin on all these ideas that is attractive.
your name may be booster, but i had to boost you, because this is a good point.
Agreed its nothing new. its his presentation i find refreshing.
And i also think we need reminding of our collective power. When workers and everyday people stand together as you mentioned happened around the new deal, change happened through that pressure. Recognizing that on Mass we can create change is a very important aspect of his message in my eyes.
Our world is often fractured and contentious, i appreciate a simple rally cry!
Thanks for giving your input!
