this demonstrates how seldom you speak with construction workers, I’ve found that my construction buddies are far more receptive towards marxism than my well-educated liberal peers who I fucking hate
It probably has less likely to do with income numbers than it does where that income comes from. It’s the workers that have their wealth tied to the stock market which gives them more of an interest in preserving capitalism.
But that doesn’t mean they are “hopeless.” Communist revolutionary ideas can and have existed among all classes, even the bourgeoisie.
That’s not necessarily true. 50k doesn’t go that far in the US. They could be deprogrammed and see they would be better off if the workers ran the company.
It’s an uphill battle, but you also can’t just write off everyone. Most people can’t even accurately describe capitalism.
There is no “lost cause”, anyone who is working class can be convinced in the right material conditions. Once the unequal exchange from imperialism disappears due to revolutions in the third world, theyll be convinced. Stop it with the third worldism.

optimism is your revolutionary duty. pessimism stands in opposition to victory.
