Breaking Through False Consciousness

Harper in China

Many progressives find themselves in dismay as a majority of the electorate seem to support regressive policies. There does not seem to be the critical mass of opinion to stop the destructive momentum of vulture capitalism. Time and again we experience impoverished classes voting against their best interest. What is it in the progressive message or in their educating that is ineffective in overcomming the false conciousness that is being communicated by the corporate parties.

This series of articles with accompanying video presentations are a survey of a variety of methods of differentiating people’s beliefs, values and habits into distinction frameworks.  These distinctions allow us to understand the difference between the way progressives and conservative corporate supporters think.

This ability to make distictions between  conservative and progressive thinking styles can be employed to enhance the effective communication of public messaging, fundraising, canvassing and recruiting membership. In addition applying the insights from these many different perspectives could contribute to a beter understanding of the statistical makeup of the Canadian population to subsequently enable greater influence and the reorganization of our economic and social systems.
