    I just don’t think there’s much utility in being so strict with categories

    The whole point is that we’re fighting amongst ourselves about what basically amounts to comfort levels for the most of us, while we should all look at each other as comrades to stand with against those that are actively taking advantage of all of us plus the rift we’ve created between ourselves.

      I agree with the sentiment, but please do read the essay I linked. It really changed the way I thought about things.

      It’s very much about strategizing and analysis, not moralizing or dividing or anything like that.

        Oof, I just looked and I’ll try when I’m better rested but damn, someone really needs to find a way to make theory accessible to nonmedicated ADHDers 😬

          i’m nonmedicated adhd.

          it’s a short read. maybe five minutes.

          if you want the tldr: there are divisions within classes and they need to be analyzed and understood. just going by someone’s relationship to wages in the value form is bound to mess you up.

          especially in the essay format, you can keep your own attention by reading the conclusion first and then reading the rest with that in mind.
