Why did the current economic crisis develop & spread out of the real estate sector in the United States? From a run on banks by workers concerned about their savings, banks which also held the home mortgages on homes that are under water. How did the collapse of housing prices & home sales, & the resulting credit crunch lead to unyielding double digit unemployment? From the banks & private sector downsizing & outsourcing their work forces, to recoup their losses in the real estate crisis.

The domestic poor is like the domestic middle class, in that they both have their struggles, though they represent different fronts of the class struggle. The poor represent the social front, the middle class represents the institutional front. This model is the same around the world, except for where the middle-class class struggle institutional front, has been brought in to the poor class struggle social front. Both these fronts are embattled, but the costs are different. The poor class struggle social front, costs are social. The middle class struggle institutional front, costs are societal.

The class struggle at its most basic form is a struggle of the most powerless individual for individual empowerment, which is most reflected in the domestic conflict. In a society which has taken individual disenfranchisement to the extreme, this is the dynamics & ramifications of class struggle.

I say as a social justice activist, to all who are involved in associate work, whistle blowers in the world reform tendency, that they have the moral support of the social justice movement. I say to all who are involved in opposing oppression & corruption from within the world's systems, the parliamentary & social opposition, that they have the political support of the social justice movement. I say to all who oppose oppression & corruption from outside the world's systems, the armed opposition & state opposition, that they have the social justice movement's political support, & I say to all who are involved in the struggle for workers' rights, the class opposition, that they & the environmental rights opposition, have the social justice movement's solidarity, which all of these taken together form a broad front, & a broad coalition of forces for social justice.

The human struggle for survival & advancement opposed by the negatives of the human condition, reinforced by systemic, societal, institutional, social, economic, political & military structures based on discrimination on race, ethnicity, class, gender, politics, religion, culture, nationality, looks, ability & geography, with entrenchment to the point that this is the historical context, with conditions that are self replicating. A humanitarian & progressive basis has always been a stable base for human survival & advancement, & there is a forward element in this, the social justice movement.
