But if us proles proceed as this meme suggests, how do we plan on avoiding future prole gens from doing the same to us? And then who is really repeating 'it' and what specifically about this time distinguishes it from past/future iterations?
Is this some really weird class analysis that involves generational heirarchy?
Like, is this the anarchist meme of "bed time is a parental construct from an unjustifiable hierarchy?"
Seriously, though. I must be misunderstanding what you are trying to say.
I'm trying to express two concerns about OP's meta-language:
How specifically can we (the non-rich) take this post seriously without becoming just as immoral as those we wish to oppose? Aren't we merely becoming the monsters we promised to slay? If so evil persists just in another form.
What is particularly unique about the post's emphasis on "this time"? We have plenty of corroborating history and theory, most of which seems to indicate that nothing in our current era will have different outcomes than previous attempts. I'd almost argue the exact opposite, now is the time to think or reflect--never has there been a time more obviously in need of recoordinating, not idle activity/mechanical action.
Why would future prole gens do it to us?
12 years take on the unjustifiable hierarchy of grown ups?
It is easier to imagine the end of history than the end of social classes.
If future prole gens are doing it to me, then I probably deserve it.
