There is no mistaking that a righteous anger is currently building across many societies and nations. The Occupy Wall Street Movement, British riots, Arab Spring, Greek riots and Spanish “los indignados” (the indignant ones) movement are examples of this. Some will dispute bundling such diverse occurrences together, but I’m certain that they are all representative of the same social development.

The Occupy Wall Street movement has been up and active for just over a month and its impact has been huge.

It has hit the headlines around the world and spawned similar occupations at multiple international venues.

This is despite the very vocal efforts of the right wing press to discredit OWS & 99ers as a bunch of hippy unemployed jealous miscreants who haven’t got a real message.

Well guess what. While those guys and girls in the pay of Fox News and the like don’t get the message and don’t like what they see, the mainstream mums and dads of the world are sure getting the message.

Funny how the military industrial complex, that basically exists to perpetuate an ongoing state of physical warfare in the world, can’t stand any open discussion of class warfare. We can find the money to fight endless/senseless wars in faraway countries to bring them the joys of democracy, but can't find the money to create jobs for our own people seeking employment here at home?

Shush. Quiet down that angry, divisive scare mongering class warfare talk. Lets not stir up those dark passions, dark emotions, anger, envy, fear.

Why so scared of class warfare talk? Could you be afraid of the possibility of a renewal of class consciousness?

We are currently witnessing the death of society.

In place of a structure of nurture and mutual support and a prime directive that obligates us to look to the ongoing viability of our species, (the fundamentals of any functioning, viable social structure), we have now entered a period where that is all cast aside, decried and devalued.

In its place we have a burgeoning casino culture, with attendant cults like the American Tea Party Movement, in which anti-intellectualism dominates, facts are to be damned and empirical reality is to be discounted as some type of plot by the mainstream media, "liberals," or "elites."

No doubt many are disheartened by the recent “debt ceiling” fiasco, and the “failure” of Democratic politicians to champion and protect the unemployed, poor and struggling lower middle classes. We have just witnessed a “deal” being driven by the radical far right in which there is zero pain for the rich and well off and all the costs will be added to the shoulders of the less well off and struggling.

Well, we could dwell on that question endlessly, but here’s my take on it and what we should be doing in response.

The far right radicals of US politics have the power and influence that they have, not by virtue of numbers. They are a relatively small minority both in terms of population and active voters. The matter that needs addressing is how this radical minority has accrued and wielded such power, out of proportion to their numbers
