Organic Intellectuals, Working Class Culture, and the Fight between Factions of the Oligarchy

This chapter explores the demise of organic intellectuals in the labor movement, resulting in the erasure of working class culture. The discussion delves into the left's shift towards representing the elite cognitive class, neglecting the impoverished and the power struggles within the oligarchy. The concept of ideological cartels and the precarious situation for the working class are also examined, with a concluding parallel drawn to Toynbee's illustration of Christians and Jews at year zero.
