Re: [Marxism] Imperialism and the US working class (Was YADL)

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the role of the "War on Terror"
in damping down worker protest. I certainly think that the war without
end propaganda has had some effectiveness in convincing workers that
to strike and demonstrate will only encourage the "enemy."

And now we have the union leaders Democratic Party in power, making the
war even more of an elephant in the room.

Witness the absence of Democratic "progressives" in the DC anti-war
action recently.

It will take a while to work through these obstacles before we see any
mass worker protests in the US.
