No Barry Pateman!
on this Point i'm 1 f those u might hav a lot f quarrels with,but since i got rid f my class dogma&spit n any idea f castesystems i could liberate myself even more,especially s a former workingclass child&some1 who worked among equals a lot n his life.The identification with a working class also brings a certain attitude f being against&feeling proud f it n a selfdiminishing,psychological way,we'd been programmed n our childhood.I'm just human&meet others only n same eyelevel.

When i meet my old friends i grew up with,seeing them n their "workingclass"attitude,i just make myself clear that we all r human
beings with the same rights&needs s others.In a workingclass
pride i see another arrogance that can lead 2 the wellknown
fallacy f a next dictatorship f workers&Farmers.
Definitely not with me mate!
