Middle class isn’t a purely imaginary invention of bourgeois media. Middle class is whiteness. It’s petite bourgeoisie. Labor aristocrat. It’s people with more toys than they know what to do with, boats and trucks and four-wheelers and RVs. Economically they may be downwardly mobile, but they generally get pulled into fascism by nostalgic fantasies and scapegoats.
Middle class is a signifier that obscures the underlying class realities, conjuring images of hardworking families but speaking of settlers. Similar to how farmer makes us think of a simple but honest pitchfork wielder rather than the kulak bourgeoisie they are.
If labor aristocrats find leftism on their own they can be embraced, but otherwise focus should be on immigrant workers, service workers, enslaved prisoners, industrial workers, gig workers, renters, and solidarity with the global proletariat.
The elite bourgeoisie are the real enemy but their violence will be enacted by middle subclasses.
That’s a vibe.
