Yes. If more Americans understood the dynamics of the class structure in which they live and its causes, they wouldn't be duped by the plutocrats time and time again.

It never hurts to be well-read about the history of anything. But yes, class warfare is a fascinating topic. I'm glad we live in a time when people aren't forced to work 12 or 14-hour days, 6 days a week, and where if they are seriously injured on the job they get some kind of recompense.

Class warfare is a myth preached by those who misunderstand the occurrences which supposedly happened in the past. The overthrow of the French aristocracy was the overthrow of one ruling class and the imposition of another; the October Revolt in Russia was not led by the communist but rather by the followers of democratic reform and when the dust settled the communist killed them and took power which led to the Russian civil war (Reds-Communists against Whites-what was left of the royalist/democratic reformer and everyone else not communist)-just a change in ruling class. Sadly too many people are perfectly happy letting some one else make decisions, sacrifices and do the job of keeping a society going as long as it does not affect them too much directly; most people are even to indifferent to vote when/if given a choice in the matter.

It it gets people to turn off the television (and computer?), I'm all for it.
Read up on history of Western Civ, while you're at it. It's pretty long and can get boring, but worthwhile for understanding why the US is the way it is...
I live in two worlds as a criminal defense attorney. My degree in Psychology has come in handy, at least for my own observations of human behavior.
I think you create class artificially, by telling human beings where their ceiling is. And this is accomplished by socialism.

Yes absolutely. Specifically, you should look at the circumstances that catalyzed them. I think it would put your mind at ease that we aren't anywhere near that drastic of a measure yet, when compared to conditions surrounding revolutions of the past.
