Futility and Attachment to Symbols in Politics
The chapter explores how symbols in politics have turned into an industry rather than a true class-based struggle. It discusses the alignment of ordinary participants with the idea of fighting for the ordinary man against the elite, and the lack of organizations to speak for the working class in the United States. The chapter also touches upon the challenge of voter participation and the disconnect between understanding the motivations and communities of workers.
