I always feel like I'm hanging out in a punk/hardcore music scene (various anarchist groups, psl to some extent) or with lame improv nerds (dsa). I don't see either of these groups connecting with very many working class people. This is obviously a huge problem but (at least where I am) there is very little attempt to organize or recruit people making minimum wage, fast food workers, service industry, manual laborers etc. I mean shouldn't this be the main priority right now? I don't know I'm just venting but I'm baffled by how bad at organizing these groups are. Do they really just like being this cliquey group that is hard to get into and that's what really matters?
no working class person in America likes the rich. Some conservatives may SAY they support the idea of "getting rich" but you bring up Jeff Bezoz they will dunk on him with you. The class consciousness is there it just pretty weak and too individualized. Liberal bullshit is immediately detected as well which is why half this country rightfully cannot stand the pretentious democrats.
I had a couple chuds, but mostly apolitical libs that sometimes listened to Rogan in my shop. Every one of them agreed with basically everything I had to say. The chud was just a braindead ex Miami nightclub head so there wasn't any changing his mind. Everyone else agreed until I mentioned that what I've been describing is communism then just got confused because communism is bad lol.
Most of them have come around lately though, the pandemic made them snap pretty quickly to "my boss is the enemy, we need central planning and guaranteed welfare". Even when it feels fruitless, keep laying the seeds. Eventually material conditions will drive people to seek answers and they'll come back to what you've said.
