I love this channel, and starting my day with this video, it put me into this amazing open-hearted place where I long to unite with others to build something better whereas I am much more prone, normally, to angrily wish to tear the capitalist's world down.
The view that generations in and of themselves have a class character, rather than their correlation with class being just a statistical trend from differing historical circumstances. i.e., Boomers don't just more often tend to be bourgeois, the generation as a whole aligns with the bourgeoisie and will support capitalism independent of other factors. Vice versa, younger generations as a whole align with the proletariat and will support revolution against capitalism, independent of other factors.
I wish.
What are we saying that is different than?
you said the generation is "dead set on protecting capitalism." and I said that capitalism came long before them and capitalism could easily outlive them.
i'll be more specific now and say that millenials and zoomers can be capitalists and support capitalism, and they can't be counted on to be socialists or revolutionaries just because these generations tend to be less wealthy. if you agree with that, then you don't believe in generational politics under the definition I gave. but, that's a definition I made up and if you think of the term differently I'd be curious to hear.
I think we see it similarly.
Right now the bullwark of capitalism in America is the boomers. And that's due to there wealth and propganda.
