If you don’t know what this means, and how important it is—you are out of it, and you need to learn about it! To dig into this, you can go to Breakthroughs and start with the following statement: Ultimately, the mode of production sets the foundation and the limits of change, in terms of how you address any social problem, such as the oppression of women, or the oppression of Black people or Latinos, or the contradiction between mental work and manual […]
