Key Notes
Jiang says the move from worker to consumer was not subtle but a revolution in society and politics.
Jiang contrasts workers, who must develop political consciousness and organize to protect rights, with consumers, who act through spending, status, and individual competition.
Jiang defines the warrior as someone who sees that courageous action with others can shape history and make reality, in contrast to the cowardly, alienated consumer.
Jiang says society is shifting from a consumer basis to a warrior basis.
