the fall "hey! student" middle class revolt (1994)

the future is plain to see: an upscale in tyranny

The rest is pretty formulaic, actually: The ruling elite institutes a regime based on Neoliberal policies; policies designed to systematically undermine the public sector, i.e., democracy itself, in favor of profiteering, of the systematic transfer of wealth and power from the citizenry to the tiny ruling class.

And what does that all mean? That's also easy to foresee: It means more poverty and homelessness; more economic insecurity for more and more people; the gutting of public education in favor of for-profit "charter schools" that double of corporate re-education camps; it means union busting; it means widespread despair, and fear, as the social fabric comes undone, at the altar of a Neoliberal regime of a global scale.

And here's the thing: I've noticed that for much of that time (over a decade) there was sometimes a very harsh reaction and indignant incredulity exhibited by the majority of people those warnings were meant to reach. I'm aware that historically that has always been the case when it comes to the middle class, but I can't quite understand why that's the case. Wouldn't middle classes have the most to lose in this type of situations? Would it not make sense that they would put up a real fight to protect their hard-fought rights and economic security? Isn't one of the benefits of being middle class having a little more time to think, to evaluate what's happening with our institutions?
