Radicals are the children of upper class - parents who over-indulged their mildly inferior offspring. . Rebelling against Daddy’s wealth is part of this...
I knew a young man many years ago who was a ‘community organizer’ ( basically a street level communist position) and he wanted to know why it was so easy to recruit college students but impossible to recruit real ‘workers’...
I don’t remember what I told him but I remember what I was thinking... which was along the lines of ‘so young, so clueless’...
Yes, Bin Laden comes to mind as well. A millionaire with a billionaire sperm bank for a “father”, but the leftist meme is that people become radicalized because of poverty.
The majority oi Saul Alinsky’s radicals were upper class intellectuals from the University of Chicago... and the Hyde Park area...( and yeah I know he was located on Stony Island across the street and a few store fronts down from where Obama’s Library is going in...)
