I feel like I need to write a column carefully explaining that just because someone drives a truck and wears camo doesn’t make them the “working class.”

Interesting. That doesn't sound like it has anything to do with free markets. It sounds much more like different forms of class warfare that occurs under theories like Marxism.
I'd love to hear more about how a culture that judges people based on the things they buy rather than, say, their beliefs, actions, or actual economic class is marxist, if you have the time and inclination

Well, I think the things they buy is representative of economic class. That's exactly one of the distinctions that Marx makes. Markets do not have anything to do with how people divide themselves. I think that's simply a false distinction.

I'm sorry I'm still not getting it, could you please explain how Marx thinks that different classes separate themselves by whether or not they buy camo and trucks? Because I've read Marx and I definitely did not come away with that impression
