I've seen lefty podcast types argue that retail workers aren't the *real* working class because those aren't the *real* jobs that keep the country running, they're "divorced from the country's productive base" Using a lot of big words to circle back around to Fox News ideologyhttps://twitter.com/tonyhell/status/1324806952300367872 …

As opposed to being an extremely obvious loophole that instantly sends any "materialist class analysis" tumbling down the slippery slope into being pure cultural identity politics, usually with a viciously reactionary bent

*Any* analysis that looks at someone whose income is less than 10% someone else's income and says the poorer person is "less working-class" than the richer one because their job isn't a "real job" has lost the plot
