Culture War and Class Struggle Part 2 to the Conservative Case for Class Struggle

By Albino Squirrell, The Syndicalist Papers

Despite capitalism march towards unlimited economic growth, at the coast and expense of everything else from community, nation state, religion, mass proprietorship, ethnoreligious identity etc. The capitalist class is not a homogenous group when it comes ideals and visons of what the world should be. In America for example the ruling class divides along predominately among 2 party line. On one side you have the Democratic party that’s tends to be more international and progressive side of the ruling class. On the other side the Republicans who tend to be the more national orientated and slightly more conservative side of the ruling class.

This divide at times seems a lot bigger than what it actually is. The divide is seen at it worse by the masses when it comes to the culture war. The battle of ideas of what is socially acceptable behavior, “human rights”, and “liberty”. These cultural battles that the ruling class and parties direct is false battle and creates a false dichotomy not just in culture but in political ideas. Along with keeping culture war battles in a liberal framework or in other words inside one of the two political camps.

In the end the social conservatives and working class are biggest losers in all of this. Unable to preserve and protect the ideas and community want to protect and working class continuing to push into economic poverty and destruction of themselves by economic and cultural factors that the capitalist promotes. They do not see that both parties are still moving in similar directions but with few different goals and tactics in mind. For any successful and true conservative and working-class movement to gain power they must break this false spectrum amongst the masses. This is what this article will try to achieve.
