      Frontline managers can still be working class. It's middle-management up that starts to be removed from the pressures of dealing with an unbearable customer base

      **whispers** middle management is also working class on a standard marxist analysis

      I mean, people divide the tiers differently. I'd be interested to know where you draw the lines :)

      well, what's the standard analysis? there are people who live by their labor, and people who live by their ownership of the means of production. middle management is the former.

      but this kind of broad-brush class analysis is unsatisfying precisely because it lumps together silicon valley managers and front-line retail workers, so people want finer-grained categories which is another way of saying the standard marxist analysis is bad, actually

      I'm honestly real fuckin pissed at Barbara Ehrenreich for coining the phrase "professional-managerial class" (PMC) and all the people who gave her all this praise for a deep insight that's necessary to map Marxist terminology onto a 21st-century world

      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

      Yeah... Like, if there's anything to it, it's probably best focused on doctors and lawyers, primarily, and maybe accountants, who may or may not be independent, in partnerships, or employees, but who don't really fit in capital or labor.

      As an attorney who is also an employee, it's not really clear if I am selling my labor, or if it's clearer to say that professional credentials are themselves capital.

      The other thing, though, is that this class would almost certainly include plumbers, electricians, and other high-skill, high-pay jobs that have a working-class whiff to them because of how you dress for work.

      Yes The truly offensive thing about this discourse isn't even that they're saying a barista at Starbucks or a programmer at a tech company or a middle-school teacher *isn't* working class It's that they say some fuckface "small business owner" with a shiny new pickup *is*

          Yeah. I think the simplest analysis is something like "can you work in this field if you left your employer and hung out your own shingle" combined with at least a cursory look at income.

          But overall, for the vast majority of real political and economic questions in the 21st century, the ONLY relevant thing is income.

          Very few of the Trump supporters they interview in diners are actually "working class" by any analysis that even tries to follow the actual definition of "working class" They're all petit bourgeoisie of one kind or another

          Farmers (as in people who actually own farms) are not working-class Contractors (as in people who take the contract and then hire laborers to complete it) are not working-class "Small businessmen" are not working-class They are all exploiting other people's labor

          “Working-Class” needs to mean more than “how performatively dirty they make you look in Ford commercials”
