WTF is that all about? I read a thread about a local school in the ED section and the White Middle Class is referred to on numerous occasions. Who are these people? Is it something that's engraved on your arse when you are born? Is it similar to the Indian caste system? Does Middle mean 'average'. Not great but not bad either.


Do I need to know which one I belong to? How many are there? Is it to do with how you think or how wealthy you are? If so, what do you need to think to be in any particular class and how much does it cost? I've lived here for a good deal of my life but I have never classified myself as any particular class. Is that something others would do for me?


I enjoy living here but this 'system' makes me wonder how a nation of sane people feel the need to have it. Much the same as my thoughts on the royal family. Would grown ups not grow out of this sort of stuff? Which bit is real please?

In my experience the above are the ones who get "stuff" organised, run committees, count the pennies after the school fete. They get their kids to school on-time, are generally polite & "attitude light"

The above & a whole lot more.

My wife says that she is proud of her working class heritage.


I say that the class system is a now defunct way of classifying people in an industrial economy that no longer exists and that its only relevance today is in a historical context.


My wife says that?s exactly the sort of middle class shit she?d expect from me.

Yup, this forum will generally takes a position that is left of left of centre and reflect modish guardianista opinion rather than the more traditional, centrist and sensible views of the country at large.

Having digested your post, I would say that you are - without doubt - in a class of your own. Take that how you like!

??????? Yep, definitely in a class of your own.

Great list for a main course, but perhaps Hotel Calfornia for starters and Welcome to the Machine for pudding.


That should keep you full for a while...

'Marxist Communism is a classless society'


I think there's certainly a belief that this would be the end result, but it seems to me that most of the philosophy is about the act of revolution itself, and the subsequent impoverishment and destruction of the bourgeoisie.


Hence I don't feel it's fair to present it as an 'equal' society.

    • Direct link (sorry duplicated!):  Today, more than 30 states from around the world will gather in Bogotá, Colombia, for the “Emergency Conference” to halt the Gaza genocide: the most ambitious multilateral response since Israel began its campaign of devastation two years ago. Bringing together a broad coalition of governments — from Algeria to Brazil, China to Spain, Indonesia to Qatar — the conference aims, in the words of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, “to move from condemnation to collective action.” At 10:30 Bogotá, 11:30 New York, 16:30 London and 17:30 Paris, we invite you to join this historic gathering's opening ceremony live from the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You will hear testimony from Dr. Thaer Ahmed, who will recount his experience of working in Rafah and Khan Younis amidst Israel’s genocide. Rosa Yolanda Villavicencio, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Colombia, will detail her government’s concrete commitments to uphold international law. After she was sanctioned by the Trump administration, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese will deliver a powerful message about the failure of the international system to protect the Palestinian people — and urge immediate and coordinated action by principled states. “Here in Bogotá, a growing number of states have the opportunity to break the silence and revert to a path of legality by finally saying: enough. Enough impunity. Enough empty rhetoric. Enough exceptionalism. Enough complicity,” Albanese will say. Today, the call from Bogotá will echo around the world. Join us. In solidarity,  The Progressive International Secretariat
