The Left has always been about getting power over others.
At one time, the Left wanted to execute the monarchs and aristocracy, raise up the working class and peasants and throw down the rich and the bourgeoisie. Ambitious political activists from the French Revolution, to Marx, to Lenin all saw this path as the path to getting power over others.
Today it’s different. Now the Left despises poor people and people who didn’t graduate from a university. Blue collar workers? They deserve no respect. We need to thin the herd and reduce the population by removing dirty people who work with their hands. Ambitious political activists today know that making deals with rich people in order to destroy individual rights and freedom is the path to getting power over others.
The Left hasn’t changed one bit.
If they ever get power, this is what we have in store....

The left has always despised the poor. Their philosophy came from offspring of the wealthy. They used to poor to implement their strategies and then eliminated the poor in wars and via starvation. They kept just enough around to keep things chugging along.
Eliminating blue collar workers would be a gross miscalculation on their part.
Who is going to manufacture their cars, washing machines. Now that I think a little further, those jobs are already being outsourced to China, Mexico.
We have to keep blue collar manufacturing jobs IN THIS COUNTRY. It’s imperative if we’re going to survive.
I was in the metal-working industry close to 50 years. Those are better, more stable, more VALUABLE jobs than ANYTHING any “ivy league” school could crank out. I got my hands dirty in oil, machine coolants and solvents and what-have-you and actually produced something, and had a sense of accomplishment. Those white collars’ “sense of accomplishment” is having control over the rest of us.
The most valuable white collars, to me, are the engineers who design things that we get to machine, grind, and assemble.
I forget about the coal miners who mine the ore necessary for us to have metal to use in cars.
And who do they think makes components for their precious wind turbines?
Do they think they show up out of thin air?
There’s that old joke about the different parts of the body arguing about which one is the most important. Well, the butthole, of course, without it, everything else shut down. It’s not the greatest analogy, lol, but I think it makes the point.
