"The opposite of faith is despair, and neither of these responses are opposed to rationality or are necessarily irrational." -- Jerry Monaco ( [info] monacojerry), "Working Class Traditions and Faith: Solidarity or Despair", 2008-01-24 (thanks to [info] force-of-will for linking there)

Jerry is one of the best writers I've come across on livejournal and that article is probably the best one on livejournal that I've read.

The subtle contrast and necessary link between working class solidarity and individualistic middle class ideology is at the heart of the being of the U. S., I'd say. In my necessary college history course the only thing I came away with was the idea that the only thing that kept the U.S. from a modern revolution were the small "wars" fought by organized labor and how the system of government worked through such clashes.

Anyway, its good to see Jerry get out to a greater audience.
