    Try to get away from monomaniacal thinking. It’s the downfall of any worldview. The Nazis and Hitler had their own obsession. They saw absolutely all of history, progress, struggle, everything as a grand story of race against race. They found ways to interpret every problem or historical event as a race struggle.

    In the same way, one can myopically paint everything as a class struggle. But the truth is some things just aren’t related to class. And if you myopically view the world as only one of class struggle, you end up making the same kind of unforced errors that the Nazis did when they tried to approach everything from a race-based lens.

      If the US were a socialist/communist society, we would’ve had more classes and lessons on respect and consent. Seriously!
