If that's all that's important to you, you will die by a thousand cuts. The
recomposition of the working class is pretty unglamorous stuff, boring,
conducted by stolid companies like Wal Mart and shitty family businesses
which are utterly at the mercy of the vagarities of finance. But above all
it is brought about by a working classes that understand themselves in ways
which are as seemingly incomprehensible as this list's fascination with
Deleuze, and who will, when the chips are down, actually produce the society
your kings and merchants survey.
 
You have to stop looking at the world from the perspective of capitalists,
and look at it from the perspective of captialism. The new world won't be
made in Wall Street, though no doubt it will elevate Wall Street to even
crazier realms of power.
