Prof Wolff explains why capitalism is the key to understanding why the employees of this country have become so divided by cultural beliefs recently.
"So we developed in this country the left wing into anti-racism, anti-sexism, environmentalism, but a right wing that wanted to re-establish the good old days economically by having a job that was secure with benefits. They never got that. They couldn't get it. It was not there, and you know what happened to them because they could not get economic restitution, because they could not reverse their decline economically? They became all the more- here we go now- enraged about the denial of their culture: their culture of patriotism, their culture of white supremacy, their culture of religious fundamentalism." - Richard Wolff
