the recent history in the us re inequality of consumption isnt usually about base subsistence, its been about access to "quality of life" goods and services. subsistence is still an issue for many ppl but its not what he was referring to wrt working class stratification

Where do we draw the line? Fridges? AC? TVs? Video games? How do we know where reproduction of labor power ends and luxury begins?

its not about drawing the line or making an argument to determine relative opression of specific cases, the fact is that the working class in the metropole and elsewhere has been split, sometimes along reactionary lines, by the competition for access to these things

No, I actually think it's pretty important to decide what things are going to be taken away from the "privileged" working class, because this section of the class becomes your enemy.

You think these workers can't see that you want them to be poor, but they can, and that's why they disregard you. Sorry.

Redefining the reproduction of labor power in certain instances as "access to consumerism" ie luxury is an argument for taking away those commodities which have been ill-gotten. Nobody misses this subtext, no matter how hard Ecomaoists try to contain it.
