politics

I would say this is unnecessarily pessimistic view of things. People like to make eternal pronouncements about the "nature" of labor in the imperial core being inherently reactionary, but the truth is that most of those are base off of a limited historical data set that is much more nuanced than most admit. I think things are unquestionably looking up and this polling is just one bit of evidence of that. I know for my part I have had infinitely more luck trying to organize my work place over the past 4 years than I ever had before. People aren't going to magically become Marxists in America, but we will have a significantly better go of it if people are starting from a position of "capitalism sucks" rather than "capitalism is the most perfectest ting ever!"
