Description: In this Wolff Responds, Prof. Wolff calls attention to the class struggle going on in the US today. This struggle between minorities with power and majorities with no power has long existed—within master/slave, lord/serf, and now employer/employee dynamics. Wolff points to the myriad of signs of class struggle: mass resignations, large unionization efforts, inflation, rising interest rates, and more. The masses want change and the minority in charge can sense it. As this class struggle heats up, can we stay unified against distraction tactics and divisive rhetoric in order to create a more just society for all?
