I find I'm frequently getting riled up by the use of "but what about class inequality?" as a deflection from any other social issues, particularly racism. So I sort of want to rant about that, but also, I think there's something about class-based analysis that I fundamentally don't get, so I'm going to try being wrong in public and see if I can learn something from people arguing with me. Plus it seems timely for the May day bank holiday to talk about class and labour issues.
( middle class person is probably wrong )
So I'm a woman, I'm bi, I'm from an immigrant background, I belong to an ethno-religious minority. I am ok, even happy, with accepting loss of some privilege as a middle class person in order to make things fairer for working class people. But I'm not willing to support white supremacy, because that is morally wrong. And it's wrong and harmful for working class people too.
