you know, i'd like to see a formal gramscian analysis of working class support for increasing immigration of unskilled workers. it might be hard for a lot of people to read. it would no doubt create the expected reactionary responses of accusations of privilege and racial bias. but, it would be tough medicine, in the end, because it's the harsh reality of it: they've got you supporting policies that are going to minimize your bargaining power. they've got you working in their interests...

so, do you have a thesis to write? do you understand what i'm getting at? then, write it up and get it circling around online.
