Might make a whole video responding to some of the fucking comments I've gotten on my Snowpiercer video but a part of my brain is stopping me so maybe not. Some people freak the fuck out when you talk about actual economic class.
Listen, bringing up small business owners is not the Marxism debunking masterstroke you think it is. And stubbornly insisting class is "more complicated now" is simply accepting liberal conceptions of class. Class is relation to production.
Spreading this bullshit only helps those who want to drive a wedge between people who have the same material interests.
It's literally what right wingers do when they talk about a "coastal elite" that inconspicuously includes Starbucks workers. It's taking culture war signifiers and other petty bullshit and putting them above actual relations to production.
The Marxist conception of class gives you direction, it makes it clear who you have a common struggle with. This "actually there's 12 classes and it depends if you know any artists" bullshit only obfuscates and renders you ineffective.
