Mastering the Universe: Who Is The Ruling Class (and How Do We Take Their Money)?

Rob Larson speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. Most of humanity’s unfixable problems arise from its small, awful ruling class. Labor exploitation, climate change, monopoly, bubbles, the extinction crisis, financial crashes, tyrannical workplaces—all this, all this, is for the benefit of a tiny class of remote ruling class bastards. Save a slot in your SocCon plans for a playful crash course in defeating dumb defenses of the ruling class, from “job” creation to Innovations that make your life worse. Labor holds the cards, so let’s comb through their cooked books and crooked accounting so that we can take the rich to the cleaners. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6.
