I guess it depends on the definition of "Class warfare". I was using it in the sense that Susu's hubby was bandying it about. Folks for whom the depth of their arguments rests on throwing out cliche's and code words, as well as redefining old terms, only deserve to be responded to in a way that exposes them for the shills they are.'

What I would like to see in this country is a debate in which people didn't hear these code phrases and respond with Pavlov's dog responses but rather they get into a debate and be willing to have these often erroneous conditioned responses challenged and examined. I know this. The 20th Century was not the American century because of the power of the capitalists. It was driven by the great middle class wanting a better life and using its ingenuity and buying power to achieve it. Labor can't lay claim to the former, but it sure can lay claim to the latter. And the weakening of the labor movement through a misinformation campaign, and a political/legislative campaign, has led us to this moment in time. Americans, I hope, are starting to recognize who the antagonist is.
