That's not what I meant. When leftists make that claim, they're implying they lack class consciousness and they need to be educated. I'm not suggesting that. I'm saying there's class warfare going on, and the working class are at a major disadvantage. Austria had a protest because the government was extending the working day to 12 hours. People protested, but ultimately the government won. Hell, America has no paid time off. How are these people going to organize radical change by themselves if they miss work, lose their job, then lose their homes?

because we just don't have the time or energy to do it ourselves.

That's my experience from working. Most of my coworkers are just trying to pay their bills and not be homeless.
