Sure, I'm not against widespread middle class prosperity, just annoyed when people present their greatest generation parents as an example of a norm that we are failing to meet. It wasn't normal, it was extremely bizarre. If we want to make that progress back, we'll have to do lots of radical stuff. Labor will have to be militant again, or we'll need some kind of external pressure like an ascendant USSR, or both, and it still may not be possible. It certainly won't happen just voting for Democrats every two years.
