Capitalism allowed the working class to have everything they wanted. All the material issues of the 19th c were substantially sorted by the 21st. The exploitation most likely remains, but there is no comparison with pre-war conditions (perhaps it's shipped to the third world, I dont know guys)

If anything, the struggle today is about the market's awesome power of mind control

well that could be true in australian (not what i belive but can understand why u think it) we live in a world of mutinational corperations so therefore for the war to be over it has to be over everywhere.

Australia never really developed a really bad class system, mostly thanks to its short existence and early foundation of the welfare system.

As I type this I am using Firefox 3 on Ubuntu with 2 IDLE windows open for coding the vector physics of the 2D platformer I am working on via Python's SDL wrapper.

Learn to fucking stereotype.

The culture wars are all the rage since the post-war economic boom. Generally the workers have sold out to the right, due to their feeble minds. In the left corner are an elite more dislocated and marginalised from the 'mainstream' then ever before. The university's traditional, sacred, moral charter to seek truth and justice lies in a pile of debris - captured by a monster that men made but cant control - forced into the slavery of consumerism and the indignity of profit. It is nothing but a grimey factory, producing little robots trained to sprout the virtues of the market on command.

Not the most logical question, considering anyone who would actually yell "BOURGEOISIE4LYF" probably won't admit such thing as a class war exists.

I think you misunderstand the concept of a "class war." Its really just a buzzword used to describe ongoing tension between owners of factors of production and workers. It does not describe an actual war capable of being resolved with a winner and a looser.
Labourers also own a factor of production. :p

I don't think Marx foresaw the corruption on his ideas into Communism, either.
