23. I understand that
But what's the liberal bourgeoisie thing all about? Don't you think somebody who excuses corporate malfeasance for a logging job, or whatever is is people do for a living, is just as guilty?

I'm just as anti-corporate as you. But I don't pretend that I'm innocent in the process or that it's only a group of upper class people that are the problem. In fact, I tend to think it's the working people who have been duped that are more the problem. Think of who is most upset AT undocumented workers. It's not the liberal bourgeoisie; who tend to support a fair immigration process. It's the working people.

And who is most likely to say fuck the world, I want my job. And not care about the poverty or even understand the dangers poverty around the world represents. Working people. And who is most likely to say that at least someone in a foreign country has a job, even with sweatshop information staring them right in the face. Working people.

If you asked most working people to give up anything to help make real change, even liberal working people, they wouldn't do it. Why blame only the liberal bourgeoisie?
