Class War - Not Culture War

Description

The establishment set a trap. And the left walked right into it. Over the last decades, identity and culture have replaced class as the key battlefront between the left and the right. Both the corporate woke and the socially conservative elite use the culture war to divide the working class to defend their system. It’s time for the left to get out of the culture war trap and get back to fighting the real war — the class war!
