Sociological Analysis on the United States of America in the year 2016 from the Conflict Theorist Perspective.

The Conflict of Class 2016

"The problem is not race, ethnicity, sex, gender, sexuality, philosophy, or religion. The problem has always been and always will be class. So as long as we the people, the proletariat, keep fighting among ourselves whether in the middle, working, and impoverished class. The 1%, the Bourgeoisie with their unholy alliance in the Power Elite will be lighting their cigars with hundred dollar bills for all of us in our world of darkness that comprises the Proletariat. We are only digging our own graves by fighting one another. We are tricked into paying attention to a trendy story as a shiny object that will become irrelevant as more of our rights and opportunities are slowly but surely, taken away. The excesses of wealth and poverty must end so that we will all find our balance in moderation as a species. Our balance as a species will be found as one that is universally Middle Class. Socialized Higher Education and Health Care are the true issues we must be handling as a society. We are the only Westernized Society without those two essential human rights. 2016, this year marks the 15th year we have been in a state of perpetual war. The reason we lost the Vietnam War was because as a nation, we could no longer afford to be in a state of war for it was bankrupting us as a nation. That is the main goal of our enemies in Daesh, (ISIS). War has not only become the inevitability of bankrupting America financially but bankrupting the American Citizens. War is bankrupting us of our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We as a nation are falling behind in almost every aspect of a civilization which American Exceptionalism will not stop us from collapsing. We as the American Citizens have had our right to happiness become impossible without the help of anti-depressants, our right to liberty has been replaced by security as Big Brother creepily watches us at all times, our right to life has lost meaning as we quietly go into that dark night of our post-modern age of nihilism and egoism."
