XIII. "KLASS, KULTURE & KOMMUNITY' ' "A UE international officer said, in November 1968, to a group of shop stewards and local union officers: 'For the past two years, as you know, we have been having widespread discussion in our union on the general feeling of rebellion, cynicism and disgust among young workers. Let's examine, now, why these young workers coming into the shops today feel and act as they do. 'When this young guy starts getting his weekly paycheck it looks pretty good, but not for long. Soon he buys a house with a thirty-year mortgage. He puts some furniture in the house. He buys a car, a refrigerator, washer and dryer. A TV - likely a color TV. On top of all that, his young wife is pregnant again. 'As the monthly bills start piling up, his pay envelope looks ridiculous. He sees no reason at all why America, the richest country in the world, can't give him a job that will provide him with all of the necessities and some of the luxuries of life - and what's wrong with that? He is frustrated, he is mad, he is ready to fight the Establishment that fails to give him what he needs." Matles & Higgins, Them and Us. " 'I'd like to tell you why we are troubled ... First, we are tired of being politically courted and then legally extorted. Second, we are sick and tired of institutions, both public and private, not being responsive ... Third, we feel powerless in our dealings with these monoIiths. Fourth, we do not like being blamed for all the problems of Black America. Fifth, and perhaps the key, we anguish at all of the class prejudice that is forced upon us.' "The speaker is Barbara Mikulski, a thirdgeneration Polish-American from Baltimore and there is little question but that she speaks for millions of the inhabitants of what Peter Binzen calls Whitetown USA ... "People forget that, in the metropolitan areas, twice as many white as non-white families live in 'official' poverty, and of course many Whitetowners don't quite qualify for that governmental distinction. They are poor but not poor enough ... The Whitetown husband and father works hard as a truck-driver or turret lathe operator or policeman or longshoreman or white-collar clerk - perhaps at more than one of these jobs - to buy and hold on to his fourteen-foot-wide house and new color television set. " 'The only place we feel any sense of identity, community, or control is that little home we prize,' says 1145 Babylon. Mikulski. 'But there again we feel threatened by Black people.' " Carnegie Quarterly, Fall 1970. Euro-Amerikan workers are absorbed, as are Boer-Afrikaner workers in Azania, into supra-class settler communities where the petit-bourgeoisie is leadership and the labor aristocracy is the largest and most characteristic element. There is a distinct and exceptional Euro-Amerikan way of life that materially and ideologically fuses together the settler masses - shopkeeper, trade-unionist and school teacher alike. The general command of bourgeois ideology over these settler communities is reinforced by the mobilization of tens of millions of Euro-Amerikans into special reactionary organizations. Those Euro-Amerikans who are immiserated or heavily exploited are not only still commanded by loyalty to "their" Empire, but are submerged and disconnected amongst the far larger, heavily privileged mass of their fellow citizens. These "white poor" are truly the lost; the abandoned remnants of the old class struggle existing without direction inside
