Who is that in that picture?
This key insight was developed in particular by an Italian Marxist philosopher called Antonio Gramsci. His thinking was taken up by Sixties radicals – who are, of course, the generation that holds power in the West today.
Gramsci understood that the working class would never rise up to seize the levers of 'production, distribution and exchange' as communism had prophesied. Economics was not the path to revolution.
He believed instead that society could be overthrown if the values underpinning it could be turned into their antithesis: if its core principles were replaced by those of groups who were considered to be outsiders or who actively transgressed the moral codes of that society.
So he advocated a 'long march through the institutions' to capture the citadels of the culture and turn them into a collective fifth column, undermining from within and turning all the core values of society upside-down and inside-out.

The irony being that it's the upper class who took up these theories, not the working class. The children of upper and middle class people were the sixties radicals. They like to pretend they are working class.
You are right, I think this is the case of the "poor little rich kids" I beliive that the majority of "Lower Class people" Are just interested in living their lives to the best they can. They are not interested in revolution, or the fight. All they want is a fair deal. without all of the strife that is put upon them by these know it all fools.
Working class people, generally, have enough strife in their lives already just trying to get by; and most want to escape the strife, and worry. That's quite the opposite motivation.
Exactly, That always makes me laugh… Poor little rich kids.
Hilary Clinton claiming she was working class during the presidential elections, that takes the cake.

@Kylie, you look like you know what you’re talking about. Do you mind shooting me your email address? I would like to chat more with you.
Yup, That is why they vote for their politicians, so that the worry of this sort of thing is taken away from them. However, The labour government are taking advantage of this and using it to fuel their own agenda.
Using them, as in treating them like useful idiots.
Exactly, hence the title of this site.
