Polls, voting and writing to congressmen gives the impression that congress' decisions are the will of the people. It barely conceals how congress is instead controlled by the wealthy and powerful. The use of our unofficial power against the rulers class struggle. It is Wildcat strikes, riots, sabotage and anything outside the control of the ruling class. It breaks the social peace.
Class struggle is feared by the ruling class.
A riot causes much more than the damage to property. It damages the carefully pruned image of the democratic system and gives average people a taste of their own power. Television no longer seems to be taking everyone's interests into account. Class struggle is the only thing that can change the unofficial balance of power in the modern world. Class struggle can stop a war.
