<p>So, how many of those of you attending this fall are interested in philosophies and movements regarding class struggle? Let me know if you've read Hardt and Negri's "Empire".</p>

<p>I generally find class struggle to be an outdated concept in the 21st century. Society seems to be moving backward to more atavistic tribal identities of ethnicity, religion, language, etc…</p>
<p>Since both “class struggle” and these tribal struggles tend to result in conflicts or “solutions” even worse than before, I’m not a fan of either and just wish we could be nice liberalists and go to starbucks and make money, a small amount of which goes into a market-oriented welfare state. But hey, that’s just me.</p>
<p>I am interested in many things. In fact, I have a long list. My interest in class struggle is listed just a little below my interest in having lemon juice poured into a paper cut.</p>
<p>But come on guyyyyyysss, the proletariat must rise again!</p>
<p>Class struggle at an Ivy League school? Are you serious? You might find a few malcontents at Penn who are willing to be your comrade, but my guess is that you’d have more success at a school whose yearly tuition didnt’ approach the average annual income for an American family.</p>
