[Marxism] How did we get suckered into this?

[Walter Lippmann]

So many people think they can get something for nothing.

They think they can go to a gambling casino and somehow
be more "lucky" than someone else, even if they know - 
"rationally" - that the deck is stacked against them, 
the idea that one can win something for nothing is one
deeply rooted in U.S. culture. Lots of this is based on
thinking individually instead of socially and societally.

It's still going to be a long time before the people of
the United States will learn to think socially, to act
politically, and to see themselves as part of something
broader than each against all, and blaming other people
(immigrants, gays, blacks, welfare-recipients, and etc.),
rather than finding ways to unite WITH other people in
common movements and struggles to make things better.
