Class is not a census category — it's a position in the process of production and power, and the test of whether any politics is real.

From the streams

  • Against identity-substitution: the online left replacing class with identity categories is the professional-managerial stratum's own class interest dressed as universal morality. Haz on the adversaries (RED PILL NEWS | IRAN-ISRAEL WAR? stream): pan-leftists hostile to MAGA Communism "because it undermines their kind of class position as institutional gatekeepers."
  • Against vulgar economism (FBI AFTER ME! stream): modes of production as living organisms with cycles of reproduction — class is a relation within the organism, not an income bracket.
  • The patriotic resolution (Twitter Space on CPUSA): "You recognize the contradiction between the material soil of your country and the ruling class and the state that represents it... I'm not giving up on the American people." The nation isn't the enemy of class politics; the ruling class is (State, Labor Aristocracy).
