Marxism and Beer

Most political movements are about petty little concerns like education or defense or law and order. Thank God some people have a sense of what's really important. Take this political movement in the 70s:

Britain's remarkably successful Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is a representative instance: founded in 1971 to reverse the trend to gaseous, homogenized 'lager' beer (and the similarly homogenized, 'modernized' pubs where it was sold), this middle-class pressure group rested its case upon a neo-Marxist account of the take-over of artisanal beer manufacture by mass-producing monopolists who manipulated beer-drinkers for corporate profit - alienating consumers from their own taste buds by meretricious substitution.
[Tony Judt, Postwar]

Come the Revolution! I'll have an ale.
