There is a growing European underclass, the inert matter of the historical process. Apolitical, hedonistic, seeking escape in drink and drugs, shunning community and society (suspecting their neighbours as dole scroungers, or believeing the tabloid myths of 'soft touch society' and immigration) and, in so doing, inevitably feeding the very system that oppresses them. Just look at how uneducated wasters appear on daytime tv shows, reality tv etc. lapping up the chance to be exploited as the production companies make millions.
yes indeed, the poor protect the wealthy. Divide and rule has worked in the north.
makes one wonder if they will ever get organised and form a proletariat. But that would necessitate at least laying off the booze - and switching off the TV. Until either or both are in short supply, the revolution is postponed!
