Read the following passage from The Manifesto:

Does it require deep intuition to comprehend that mans ideas, views, and conception, in one word, mans consciousness, changes with every change in the conditions of his material existence, in his social relations and in his social life?  What else does the history of ideas prove than that intellectual production changes its character in proportion as material production is changed? The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.

After studying the above passage, write a ONE-PAGE response when addressing the following intellectual problem:

If ones social class shapes ones consciousnessi.e.: ones self-awareness and understanding about the worldwhat must be done, or better, what must happen, to ensure that the working class can think differently from the ruling class to start a revolution? In other words, if the ruling class dictates how people think, how then can workers think about revolution if they–the workers–can only contemplate ideas put into their heads by the ruling class?

In thinking about Porter’s argument that citizens use the consumer world to make political decisions, how does this compare with your own decision-making in politics? Do you agree/disagree with Porter’s argument
