I wish I could see the same dialectic at work here, Charles. I am inclined
to think that if things get really serious and massive sacrifice is
expected from the working class then indeed Labor will get govt.

(((((((((

CB: Oh me oh my, how do they manage to fool each new generation of the working
class to make such sacrifices , Gary ?

I wonder, though, if in the longer run, the simultaneity of war and depression
might have potential for turning into their opposites, revolution, something
the American ruling class has wanted to avoid. Crisis is danger and opportunity.
