    I mean, that’s a very good demonstration on the common values of these supposedly different groups. Their class solidarity is strong.

      No, it’s a good demonstration on their common lack of values. They have no class solidarity and will turn on anyone who has helped them in the past if they think they’ll get ahead.

        Dude, you can’t be satisfied by bites of moral superiority, it isn’t useful to you. Class solidarity doesn’t mean that they have solidarity with you because they strive for unity or whatever, it means that they have solidarity with people in the same socioeconomic class as themselves. Yes, they are self-interested and they exclude people who are not in their class from positions of power within the state. They correctly identify that most Americans have been neglected functional knowledge on how their system works – both literally as in the state and philosophically/sociologically as in how ideas work and why certain people subscribe to certain values – and make use of a “two-party” system to occlude their common interest in capital and hegemony. Democrats and Republicans do not differ on fundamental principles of how society should work, and they share those principles with anyone alive who hoards wealth because they all are in a class that is constructed through wealth hoarding, that’s the solidarity.

        That someone can work for either party without missing a step demonstrates that there is not a fundamental difference between the two in a very funny way.
