It has always been like this.

For a few decades the middle class forgot they were still part of the proletariat and weren't really independent bourgeoisie.

Occupy was a Russian front, ignore it.

What the Marxists never say, or maybe they never figured it out, is that America and Australia only had good post war living standards for the working classes because they were the only western countries that hadn't had their factories bombed to the shithouse. It meant we became primary and secondary industry powerhouses. But once industry had enough money again and factories could be built in places with cheaper labour we were doomed. That's what capitalism is.

me and my husband had to get professional jobs overseas to escape the old boy network and that was 25 years ago

Apparently the revolutionary French visited Australia and declared Australia practised "Socialism without doctrine". That was long ago and trades hall today is a museum of collapsed trade unions. Both left and right totalitarian systems are currently regarded as frightfully modern era and intemperate. I can't wait to see what comes after post-modernism.

It's going to keep getting worse too. I give us about 4 years.
