Whenever I think about Big Ambitious policy goals I do feel a pang of sympathy for the "convert the white working class through class consciousness" squad. Unfortunately I think at this point in history that strategy has a pretty big downside.

But if we are ever going to get Big Ambitious policy like nationalizing capital markets or reparations or redistributing political power so that more goes to people and less goes to land... I don't *think* retaining current margins among POC will be enough.

And, btw, it's mostly due to assimilation and white Latinx folks disappearing into whiteness. Although... who has done the research on how the white-identifying children of at least one POC parent vote? Does The Lost Majority take the argument that far?

So sooner or later "convert the white working class" I suppose will have to happen? I can't see Panera Bread whites nationalizing capital markets for me, so.

BUT I think it's *very important* (flashing lights, sirens, thunderbolts and lightning important) that the white working class be converted on consciously socially progressive terms. An alliance of convenience to stop Trump? Sure. A long-term governing coalition? I doubt it.
