By class traitor I don't mean a fed or infiltrator. You don't have to go out of your way to denounce leftist ideas or stop the left. You just have to have class interests directly in conflict with workers and the poor. You can let your factory unionize, and take less money. But would you choose to be that factory owner if it meant your current situation improved significantly?
I don't know what I would choose because I have no hopes of owning capital. I would love to quit my job and be free to just own stuff and make money off it. But then I would have to reckon that with my beliefs. I guess you could just accept you can't be a leftist and volunteer for the wall should the day come.
The class positionality locks you out of meaningful/radical praxis but it doesn’t lock you out of sound analysis. Had this realization as a petty bourgeois failson set to inherit wealth and a business. I can’t exactly overthrow myself and refusing ownership/trying to dissolve the company would just result in another capitalist taking over rather than meaningful gain for the workers. Best I figure my pathway is to negotiate down the position of power succdem style and try to restructure as a worker coop while volunteering resources to working class movements and orgs. Oh god I’m a BMF post about PMC DSA Karens
