Seeing Through the System
Most people think of class as a ranking system the more you have, the higher your class status. In contrast to this view, in this new study author Gus Bagakis demonstrates that class is a tool that explains how the capitalist system works and why the class struggle is invisible. Capitalism was and is a developing system in which the working class is turned into a commodity, selling its labor power to the capitalist class that owns the factories, businesses, and corporations. While capitalism claims to promote efficiency, wealth, and freedom, it is also a system where the rich are getting richer, the earth and climate are being destroyed, and the poor get more and more desperate with each passing day. All of this is happening because we live in a system that stunts personality and corrupts human relations by pitting people against one another for economic gain. Through class analysis, Bagakis explains that we must take off the filters that we've been indoctrinated with, so that we can see how personal, social, and international problems develop. Primary among these false filters is the idea that we are all middle class and so there are no class conflicts in our society. Seeing through the System seeks to help students, workers, social activists, and those interested in understanding the reasons behind many of the problems in the world today. You can come to understand how our society was put together, how it works, and how it can be transformed.
Seeing Through the Bumpf
Do you have an uneasy sense that you are being manipulated every day and being misled? You are, and you aren’t alone. Every day, we’re bombarded by statements, questionable reasoning, emotional pleas, and (very) selective data. These are employed by the media, politicians, public figures, and marketers in an effort to draw you to their side of the argument. At times, you may want to wave the white flag of surrender in the war for truth. Maybe there is no truth? Maybe there are many—sometimes contradictory—truths. It doesn’t feel like that could be possible, but how else do you reconcile these very articulate but diametrically opposing viewpoints and data? By developing critical analytical skills and learning what it means to be rational, you’ll be able to weigh the merits of the opposing viewpoints and more easily see gaps in others’ arguments. Being rational requires honesty and a sincere effort to determine what is true and what is not as a basis for making decisions. What are you going to do about being manipulated and misled? Learn what being rational means, how to think rationally, and develop skills to determine valid data and to have a truly rational discussion. Seeing Through the Bumpf will help you become an informed and thoughtful analyst of the daily bombardment that comes your way.
