Agree. Perhaps it’s worth now revisiting Wilhelm Reich! (The Reich before his “orgon-turn”, clearly — Mass psychology of fascim, published first in 1933, for instance). It’s already a fascinating critique of the (alleged) economism of class consciousness (and lack thereof)

USDA has eliminated two food safety advisory committees for microbiological contamination and meat inspection. Most recently, they had been reviewing regulatory approaches in response to the fatal Listeria outbreak from Boar’s Head meats and fatal Cronobacter contamination in powdered infant formula
