About this listen

In the second part of the series Class Warfare: The Fight You Didn't Know You Inherited, the discussion continues on class stratification in American society, the widening wealth gap, and how powerful elites manipulate public perception. The episode delves into the origins and evolution of the 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' mentality, scapegoating of minority groups, and financial literacy. It emphasizes the importance of community organization, mutual aid, and political engagement in challenging the status quo. The conversation also highlights modern challenges such as distorted media narratives, the need for financial education, and the potential for collective action. Examples from past revolutions and successful political figures like Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Barack Obama are cited as inspirations for creating meaningful change.
