Millions of people in the UK identify themselves as working class
The set of "working class" *** people nowadays is so large (in fact near total)
as to render the very term pointless.
*** by the most accurate definition given by many
"of course it doesn't suit neo liberalism that likes to put forward the myth of equality
while at the same time creating the most unequal societies since the 1930's"
What that sentence has to do with the definition of "working class"
is currently beyond me (but please feel free to educate me) .
!You could also argue that Ruling Class is anachronistic despite the fact that it still exists
and in fact has been strengthened in the last 40 years."
No argument at all : it is.
It cannot be denied that a lot of the set of people P that
enter national politics/office (MPs, civil servants etc) :
- are the children of those with a much better socio-economic
status than the "man in the street"
- tend to have a narrow collective set of academic attainment
but the vast majority of P, and their parents, are still "working class" *** .
