The direction (and misdirection) of solidarity


In my town there are basically two kinds of socialists:
- those who think that it is unjust, that the neighbour has a bigger car than they have
- those who think that it is unjust, that the neighbour can’t afford a car as nice as the one they have.

Solidarity can be with those who have less than you, or it can be with those who have more than you - in the latter case there's another name for it, which I can't remember at the moment.
