The woke, the Brahmin left and shifting allegiances of the working classes

[ionelv]

Batya Ungar-Sargon published an article last year entitled The media’s betrayal of the poor.  One reference caught my eye: Piketty re: a Brahmin Left, so I looked it up and found a 2019 summary of Piketty book Capital and Ideology book in which he proposes the idea of the Brahmin Left vs Merchant Right. This writeup contains two comments, one of which pointed to an incisive dissection of the recent evolution of democracy in the UK.
