    Some workers have a class interests so opposed to other workers that it doesn't make sense to put them in the same class. Cops and writers for The Atlantic are two examples.

      One of the many distinctions between "worker" and "not a worker" is when your sole purpose is to oppress workers and protect the ruling class. Cops under capitalism are not workers.

      ??? Both cops and said writers, though fighting for the stupid side, have very definite interests shared with all workers, they have nothing to lose but their chains and everything to gain from common ownership over the means of production. Fighting for the wrong side does not invalidate you for the label of prole.

        Not sure about this. Both of their occupations require them to be opposed to the interests of the greater working public.

          It is very much possible to fight against your own best interests.
