  • (Fwd) Congrats to the South African working class: yet again, WEF gold medal winner in the class struggle

    For the fourth straight year, the World Economic Forum in Davos 
    announced yesterday that the most confrontational working class on earth 
    is...
    
    South Africa!
    
    (Back in 2011 the SA proletariat was only 7th most confrontational - 
    then came Marikana and the class has been at the front ever since.)
    
    The silver medal goes once again to the Venezuelans, but the gap between 
    #1 and #2 most militant has opened up wide.
    
    Down at the very bottom of the world rankings are the Swiss and Danish 
    working classes, tied for most collaborative slackers. :-(
