      You’re the second person I’ve seen recently make this distinction and I genuinely don’t see the utility, in your scenario an old retired lady with an antique shop that doesn’t turn a profit and has no employees has more social power than a billionaire CEO beholden to shareholders

      Very important to remember when all that doctrine was written. "Capitalists" as originally defined are consolidated in few families and mirror old-timey nobility fairly well at a time where that transition was ongoing. It was never built for modern tardocapitalism.

      The bourgeoisie were middle managers flaunting tacky new money tastes in the original French. It’s all theory that needs some kinks worked out to apply to contemporary culture. As an “independent contractor” an Uber driver would be an owner-operator, in this scenario, capitol.

      And, for the record, you'd think that in a country with structural racism with historical roots in literal slavery everyone would agree that structural racism is the most obvious example of classic class distinction in the marxist sense, at least for black Americans as a group.

      I mean, queer rights, maybe, but for black people and women it's the most apples to apples thing in terms of societal structure perpetuating itself despite historical changes. With all the muddling of corporate capitalism it's the most purely marxist structure in US society.

      Vis a vis women Engels (the more woke of the two) addressed the role of sexism within the capitalist world, that the housewife was the original oppressed worker. Which is again both accurate in some situations and outdated in others.

      Yeah, @nberlat went into how Firestone - the most insightful of the 2nd-wavers - talked about how in her view capitalism is a descendant and mutation of patriarchy, not vice versa

      None of this shit maps onto the capital/worker construct completely cleanly but the parallels are obviously there

      A lot of people have tried to argue that anti-queerness can't be a form of class exploitation ("what the hell profit does a straight guy extract from hurting gay people") but they're not thinking it through Under patriarchy cishet women are the proles and queerness is lumpenness

      You don't send the cops to brutalize disabled homeless people who can't work because you genuinely think they're holding out on you and that there's a lot of profit to be made from putting them back in the workforce You do it because the system demands its borders be patrolled

      "You can't let some people just take handouts or what if EVERYONE does it" "You can't let people just opt out of normative cishet marriage and producing the next generation of workers through their reproductive labor What if EVERYONE did that"

          (Rod Dreher wrote a piece recently that went viral with everyone mocking it because he literally said this, word for word But he was just, as they say, saying the quiet part loud)

          Is he completely incapable of introspection? A brief look at data suggests at least a plurality of people want kids even in conditions unsuited to it (look at polling on Millennials / Gen Z for this). If he lacks that desire maybe he's less "normal' than he thinks.

          The irony being that unregulated capitalism is currently driving down birth rates by pushing up prices on essentials like housing and eroding leisure time needed to meet someone so it grows increasingly difficult for people to start a family even if they'd like too.
