12/We've transformed from a nation of farmers and factory workers to a nation of service workers, and these workers are, for the most part, unorganized.

15/Organizing low-paid service workers *as a class* would be much more effective, I think, than just organizing at a company or occupation level. And no one except socialists is going to do this.

16/American society has, basically, zero respect for America's vast working class of underpaid workers, treating them as a fluid, dispensable labor pool to be drawn from and discarded at will, while culturally denigrating them as "losers". It sucks.

17/And that won't change until the new working class gets together and *forces* it to change. Respect, I think, typically isn't "earned", but seized. And who other than socialists can give this new working class the consciousness it needs to organize and demand respect?
