Under conditions of mounting financial tensions, the greatest fear of
the ruling classes and their central bank servants is that the
contradictions of the system over which
they preside are going to erupt and lead to the emergence of overt class
struggle, which, in collaboration with all the forces of the political
establishment—from the trade union bureaucracy to the pseudo-left
tendencies and their manic fixation on identity politics—they have been
able to suppress for the past three decades. Under those conditions,
some things are indeed better left unsaid.
