139. Where exactly has the re-definition of the term "2nd World" been occurring?
Please tell me you're not an academic who is pushing these relatively simplistic neo-communist Worker's World terms... "American underclass", "leadership track", "class mobility"... or I'm gonna feel like I'm trying to decipher the tracts of Berkeley communist/worker intellectuals (in their own eyes), into some sort of model that can actually be fit into the apparent behaviors of the larger world... with a minimum of dialectic transliteration, so to speak....

And yes I realize that makes next to no sense... and likewise your tirade.

Why don't you just say that you suspect that the middle class is being laid off and left to either creatively cultivate personal relationships to advance themselves, or hum "Yankee Doodle Dandy" while they sink into the working/poor class... rather than try to couch your strange neo-marxist dogma in some sort of educational smoking jacket?
