The working class populations in the United States, New Mexico and even Santa Fe are being challenged on all fronts in the current political and economic environment.
Aside from the machinations of the far right, the intellectual and financial pillars of progressive politics have chosen self-indulgence over truly democratic engagement and sat idle while corporatocracy became the dominant force in social, economic, military and foreign policy.
