History shov
Iditor:
If the history of class conflict shows
nvthine about all "hitherto existing
ocieties," it is not a justification of
leagan's supply-side economics, as
lark Blalock claims in his letter of
'eb. 14.
What is clear is that the writers of
lie anti-Reagan letters that Blalock is
ttempting to refute paid enough
ittention in their "history classes" to
ealize that a society based on
carcity, insecurity and greed ? as
turs is? needs the social remedies
leagan is attempting to do away
vith. Unfortunately, Blalock has used
ome maligned version of history to
upport his sciolism.
If we are to accept the sugar-coated
endition of how our country was
ounded, the version Blalock employs
ncorrectly, our government was
tased on two ideals: 1.) all people are
reated equal, and 2.) government is
esponsible to its citizens.
In what way could people have been
iewed as equal by our founding

society. The only possible way people
can be equal is morally ? that is,
deserving of equal treatment, not
equal opportunity as Blalock would
argue.
Equal opportunity is meaningless in
a society that transforms natural
inequalities into socio-economic
inequalities. Therefore, if mankind's
equality is the basis for our country,
an egalitarian society is necessary to

at least temper the inequality of
capitalism.
If our government was founded as a
mechanism responsible to its citizens,
then certainly it should respond in
times of economic woe. Mr. Blalock, if
you could only experience the agony
of starvation once, your conservatism
might be tamed a bit.
It's not that the poor do not want to
work, their inequality makes such
work unattainable. Again, a true look
at the theoretical basis of our country
requires the amelioration of social
ills.

quick slander of socialism. Too bad
Blalock does not understand what
Locke is actually saying, that labor
gives a person title to property. In
other words, if you work on
something, then it is in some aspects
yours.
Locke was attacking 17th-century
Europe, a society that separated
owner and worker. Unfortunately,
under capitalism the worker still
labors endlessly, receiving no title to
his product. He is the victim of wageslavery.
The only way to realize the
Lockean ideal Blalock sophistically
espouses is to give the forces of
production to the proletariat-essentially
a socialist notion.
The contradictions between the
ideology supporting America and the
reality of American life are clear.
Anyone attempting to justify the
suffering related to class struggle
should not misapply history. He
should admit he is a victim of his own
greed.
