THE PEASANTS REVOLT

                                    I’ve an idea, why don’t we start a revulsion?

 Some thinkers on the left now are advocating  hating the rich individually, and not the system that made them rich. But the underpin of the system are the working class, the poor. Where would the rich be without them? Notwithstanding the fact that many working class people think their rich after they’ve bought their council house and put a bronze doorknocker on. What about hating the poor?
Left wing intellectuals pontificate against inequality and the corrupt capitalist system without taking into account that the biggest cog in the system are not the rich but the working class.
In this country (UK) the reform act of 1867 brought the working class into the electoral process for the first time.
This was viewed with extreme trepidation amongst the ruling class who thought that, with the enfranchisement for the first time of the masses, Britain was in for a continuous string of left-wing governments.
What happened? Apart from the few years of Attlee, Wilson and Keir Hardy
we have been led by mainly Conservative governments of the ruling class.
When Attlee instigated the setup of the welfare state and other socialist type policies such as the nationalisation of industries, how did the workers show their gratitude?
At the next election they voted the ruling class back in.
How much education do they need?
Long ago I worked for some time in a construction company, and if you want ignorance, if you want prejudice, its was there by the bucketful from the workers.
Although most of them were able to read, their entire reading matter mainly consisted of their daily right-wing tabloid.
In my view it is the working class who are the main obstacle to socialism. Get rid of those and then the middle classes will be the new prolateriat, and lets see how they like slaving ten hours a day just for bread and dripping and some bacon on a Sunday.
