In the meantime, it is essential that the labor movement be strengthened, expanded, and re-democratized, at least in the United States.FrGregACCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00368463715994694203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213316015209503694.post-74217320689201103872010-02-04T10:03:45.814-06:002010-02-04T10:03:45.814-06:00Fascinating read, the White Beret stuff, thanks fo...Fascinating read, the White Beret stuff, thanks for pointing it out. <br /><br />I teach CCE in a pretty suburban parish, I can see this consumerist get-a-job mentality effecting every aspect of the way these kids think... heck, not just the kids, everyone.bgeorge77https://www.blogger.com/profile/14524051055544962510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213316015209503694.post-41172797522823925802010-02-03T10:06:09.571-06:002010-02-03T10:06:09.571-06:00Yes, it is very sad.

But when you have mentality that what we need is to "create jobs" to distribute money (because an income has been tied inseparably to "employment")...then you will encourage the fomentation of false demand in the form of stupid consumerist crap...in order to justify new production to "employ" people who really don't need to be employed anymore thanks to technology.A Sinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083094677310915678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213316015209503694.post-47918784397928310892010-02-03T05:06:41.340-06:002010-02-03T05:06:41.340-06:00I would hope though that the consumerist mentality...I would hope though that the consumerist mentality that is prevalent in the US and Europe (but to a greater extent in the US) wasn't spreading to other parts of the world, yet sadly it seems to be.
