In any society, the culture is created and maintained by the media and other apparatuses of the ruling class. Collectively, this is referred to as a society’s superstructure
This superstructure reinforces and perpetuates the ownership and norms of productive forces in society, known as the base of a society.
In the USA, the base is oligarchic capitalism, and the superstructure is a neoliberal managerial-cultural apparatus
Isn’t the alternative to this a class-conscious understanding of reality? Which can only be achieved through defeating ignorance via a genuine and true education?
