poverty is poverty baby. the powerful class exploits propaganda to keep the rural poor and urban poor from understanding eachother's struggles and keep them hating eachother. that's why racism is such a powerful tool. it expedites and distributes the process to deluding poor white men, often rural, into hating poor black men, often urban, and preventing them from analyzing their deeper connections and commonalities. the hegemony helps enforce poverty. we need to break racism, sexism, and homophobia to break the lack of class solidarity. they really hate us so much they'd break themselves to break us.

this belgrade strike is a sign that hope is warranted. this urban / rural divide is crossable by instilling in the bigots at least enough organizational skills to learn the more people in their circle of trust they can listen to to guide them against the bosses who break them. if you are in a position where you can talk to a rural person subjected to near constant hate safely, talk to them about how a labor strike or a boycott could help them get theirs. they don't need to enact violence on someone weaker than them, they need to stand strong together against someone stronger
