The Snyder Act of 1924 enabled Native Americans born in the United States full citizenship. The 15th Amendment, passed in 1870, granted all U.S citizens the right to vote but it was the Snyder Act that enabled Native Americans to vote.
When I see stuff like this, it enrages me beyond anything else because how are you gonna kill and rob and take from an entire race of people. Then say you found everything then NOT give them citizenship of their own land.
Ironically, despite the Native American influence on America’s democracy, they were among the last Americans given the right to vote.
this gotta be the stupidest sentence i've ever read. The "Founders" took what they "discovered" and they killed the people that were here already MY ANCESTORS
Marx saw false consciousness as a product of an unequal social system controlled by a powerful minority of elites. The false consciousness among workers, which prevented them from seeing their collective interests and power, was created by the material relations and conditions of the capitalist system, by the ideology (the dominant worldview and values) of those who control the system, and by social institutions and how they function in society.
He saw a higher power that plays out in the shadows and oversees the power and capitalist system that the world has.
In the U.S. this belief is encapsulated in the ideal of "the American Dream." Viewing society and one's place within it based on the set of assumptions derived from "common sense" thinking results in a perception of being an individual rather than part of a collective. Economic success and failure rest squarely on the shoulders of the individual and do not take into account the totality of the social, economic, and political systems that shape our lives.
They use the title of American dream as like a dream statement to say when you live happily but for a lot of people in the world nowadays the "American Dream" ain't realistic at this point.
Class consciousness refers to the awareness by a social or economic class of their position and interests within the structure of the economic order and social system in which they live.
They live in a economic pyramid, which sounds like if they don't make enough they aren't as "valuable" as someone who makes a lot of money.
