The propagandists for class war are the corporate media, led by the super-rich Rupert Murdoch.The class struggle against the poor in the United States is nothing new—it was formally launched in the early 1970s and has been implemented with great efficiency over the past 40 years. For about 30 years, from 1933 to the late 1960s, the United States followed roughly the same development path as postwar Western Europe, moving towards a social democracy. When former corporate lawyer Lewis Powell entered the U.S. Supreme Court in 1972, the Supreme Court opened the floodgates for corporate money to enter politics.
After becoming president in 1981, Ronald Reagan intensified the Supreme Court's attack on public welfare by cutting taxes for the wealthy, launching attacks on organized labor and rolling back environmental protections. This trajectory has not yet been reversed.
As a result, the United States has drifted further away from Europe in terms of basic economic decency, welfare, and environmental controls. While Europe by and large continues on a path to social democracy and sustainable development, the United States continues on a path characterized by political corruption, oligarchy, a growing gap between rich and poor, contempt for the environment, and a refusal to limit human-induced climate change. rush.
