There's also a footnote to an earlier CrimethInc. article, "Syriza Can’t Save Greece: Why There’s No Electoral Exit from the Crisis," with a link to it, bearing out the argument in greater detail, along with a quotation from the article:

“A profit-driven economy inevitably concentrates wealth into fewer and fewer hands. In a globalized world, any country that tries to reverse this process scares off investors; this is why today even the wealthiest nations are being forced to feed all the infrastructure of social democracy into the fire, keeping the market healthy at the expense of the general population. This problem could be solved by the revolutionary abolition of private property and the state that defends it, but there is only one way to preserve the support infrastructure of social democracy while maintaining capitalism, and that is to narrow down who gets to benefit from it.”

You can read the article in full here:

It was published immediately after Syriza won the election in Greece, and unfortunately, the arguments have been borne out by history.

the money and jobs is one thing .... wake up your anticipation now!:

what they missed then (on their way, see eribon) is what not only the left but also we anarchists are desperately missing today: that what malatesta called: the anarchist spirit, a "proud self-perception", a dignified, exalted and a (kind of) "the human loving" political standpoint and identity. that what bakunin called: passion, that what emma goldman called: beauty, that what i call: the sublimity of anarchy -

- so: in other words: all that what the fascist around the world are providing to their followers with their wording and with their ideology (even though the ppl getting poorer and poorer and life is getting much harder - these voters do not care - dignity is what they what, and an identity)

in the US you have in fact the same problems

again !

Süddeutsche Zeitung: In your 2009 book Return to Reims, you showed using your mother as an example how left-wing voters switched to the Front National because they felt abandoned by Social Democrats and Communists.

Didier Eribon: In my parents’ family, people voted for the Communist Party. It wasn’t just a vote every four years, but an entire culture. My parents, as simple factory workers, didn’t read Karl Marx, but there was a theoretical framework: there are social classes that are in conflict with each other, a class struggle, and so on. This led to a kind of proud self-perception that formed their political identity. Then the Communist Party fell apart. And suddenly the Social Democrats said there is no social determinism, no social fate—only self-responsible individuals. Which means that if you don’t make it, it’s your own fault. But by denying the idea of a class society, the Socialists didn’t make these people disappear. Suddenly they felt that only the Front National, which speaks for the common man, for threatened France, hears us.

about that i want to talk - not about money and jobs

the bottom of it - in fact - that is what the fascists are doing:

"I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Lyndon B. Johnson
