Who is a PMC lib, who is working class? It's obviously not office/factory anymore, most people don't work in factories, right? Why was the focus in communist thought on factories and not, servants, drivers, nannies, maids, cooks and secretaries of the rich – they seem to be easy to radicalise because they see the shittiness and incompetence of the rich day to day, and more importantly are most needing of a union because of the likelihood of abuse by their bosses.
Was it because they don't exactly work together? Can't exactly chat and radicalise? Hard to strike? How do we bring gig economy workers together when the same barriers apply to radicalise them?
I tend to think of it like this: if you quit your job tomorrow can you live off other dividends (rent, capital, stock). If no, you're working class cause you need that wage. Btw. Very often when I argue with chuds about this stuff there is always the inevitable "but I own my own business, so I must be capitalist, checkmate commie". Nah, bitch, you're still down here with the rest of us. You're a capitalist when, when you go bankrupt the bank bails you out.
