And there's the reactionary political stuff right on time.phildwyer said:*Everyone* in the Western world, to varying degrees, benefits from capital, just as virtually everyone sells their labour for wages. We are all simultaneously bourgeois and proletarians, and the contradiction between capital and labour is manifested in our minds, not in class struggle.
In what sense is the queen a proletarian? How about the major shareholders of trans-national corporations? In what sense is your average factory worker a capitalist? When the aforementioned shareholder decides to shut down the factory and move it to the third world, putting the aforementioned factory worker into poverty, in what sense is this 'in our minds'?
Obfuscating, mystical, reactionary shite that could only come from somebody who lives a ridiculously privileged life and doesn't have a fucking clue how the world works for most people.
