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.”

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

I'm really interested in the specific aspects of Marxist theory you're drawing from here, like which book should I re-read to learn more?

Specifically--and I'm sorry for the disjointed responses--I'm curious as to how Marx thinks that's an ideal outcome and how Marxism leads to a shift from evaluating the person to evaluating the commodities that person consumes
