Imagine telling a Muslim person after 9/11 or a visible trans person that their real enemy are only the “bourgeoisie”, just this class of faceless entities they’ve never met and not the everyday proles that constantly treat them like shit
And that the proles are actually only massive assholes to them because they’re “misguided” by “the ruling class”
No wonder socialist groups are all filled with middle-upper middle class white coastal elites
you say your enemy is the ruling class, you join the ruling class and accept their ideology? that doesnt seem like they are your enemy. and why is your solidarity with the working class conditional?
Because class solidarity is a matter of survival and personal interests, not ethics, morals, or empathy
Marx spoke of this
To me solidarity is a matter of liberation, not personal interest.
Liberation is also in your personal interest though, is it not?
in a very long term sense, liberation (ergo communism) is beneficial to everyone. but in the short term i dont really benefit being beat up by the police for being at a palestine protest
