@JoannPearse [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [15]: "Why is the actual working class overwhelmingly not on the Left?"
The "radical" "Left" sold them out in favor of #woke #intersectionality.
As for the liberal left, Chris Hedges lays it all out:

"...and we have to recover that we have to remember that it is not our job to take power that's not our job our job is to remain fast around moral imperatives that we do not compromise on it is our job to defend a dispossessed working class it is our job to defend sick children it is our job to defend those uh who are being uh tortured abused and killed in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan because of our rapacious and out of control War economy and we have to beginning be willing to get up and make personal sacrifices on behalf of these moral imperatives even if at first we become parias that is the only hope left anybody who's foolish enough to think that going to a ballot box at this point and voting for a Democratic candidate is going to change anything um I think is as is is living in a universe that is as non-reality based as the Christian right and if we can recover that ethic if we can understand that Rebellion or resistance is a way to safeguard our own Integrity our own individuality if we can look down the long term and say maybe not in our lifetime but we will carry this for the generations that come after then I think we can speak about Hope but if we refuse to do this if we remain passive and complacent then I think both our nation and finally the ecosystem that sustains human life is doomed" (17 October 2010).

Supplementary #IRLAuthorLauraBasu "The concept of global labour-value chains helps us understand two crucial things. 1. the global economy is about power and domination, not a 'free market'. And 2. the pattern of domination is imperialist in nature. The countries that participate most in global labour-value chains are China, India and Indonesia. The same goes for many countries in the Global South, including Mexico, which gets shafted a lot by the US. What is striking about these economies? They have both low wages and high productivity at the same time. That is due to the value-slurping-device of the global labour-value chain. The sucky multinationals are mostly headquartered in the US, Europe and Japan, and that's where the money ends up. The capitalist global economy is not a level playing field. It never was. The parts of the world that got rich and powerful through colonial plunder, genocide and enslavement use that wealth and power to keep on thieving, even now colonialism is officially over." https://laurabasu.substack.com/p/concept-of-the-fortnight-global-labour #TheoryGlobalLabourValueChains #IdentityGlobalSouth #PoliticsCapitalismLaissezFaireFreeMarket #TheoryCulturalImperialismWestern #ToponymAsiaChina #ToponymAsiaSouthIndia #ToponymAsiaIndonesia #ToponymAmericaNorthMexico #PhenomnColonialism #LiteralFieldEconomicsBusinessModelFastFashion [Wikipedia]

Addendum I would be curious to know if this poster feels the same about child beauty pageants/contests (given their often over-sexualised nature). For example, this is how #IRLScholarHenryGiroux understands them: "I will argue that the beauty pageant is an exemplary site for examining critically how the discourse of innocence mystifies the appropriation of children's bodies in a society that increasingly sexualizes and commodifies them. In pursuing this argument, I will examine how the culture of child beauty pageants functions as a pedagogical site where children learn about pleasure, desire, and the roles they might assume in an adult society. I also will examine how such pageants are rationalized, how they are upheld by commercial and ideological structures within the broader society, and how they are reproduced, reinforced, and sustained in related spheres such as advertising and fashion photography-spheres that also play an important role in marketing children as objects of pleasure, desire, and sexuality. Underlying this project is the attempt to challenge such rituals as innocent, to reconsider the role they play as part of a broader cultural practice in which children are reified and objectified. This is not meant to suggest that all child beauty pageants engage in a form of child abuse. Pageants vary in both the way they are constructed and how they interact with local and national audiences. Moreover, their outcomes are variable and contingent. But as sites of representation, identity formation, consumption, and regulation, the dominant and assigned meanings attached to these events have to be understood in terms of how they articulate and resonate with other cultural sites engaged in the production and regulation of youth, the packaging of desire, and the sexualized body. (p.36) ... All of these critiques raise valid concerns about the role of child beauty pageants and how they produce particular notions of beauty, pleasure, and femininity that are as culturally gender-specific as they are degrading; such criticisms also prompt a debate about the nature of adult needs and desires that push kids into pageants, and how such pageants correspond with other social practices that 'silently' reproduce roles for children that undermine the notion of child innocence and reinforce particular forms of child abuse" (p.39).
