      Right, but it speaks to the character of the protestors. They are able to take time off of work, pay for transport and lodging, etc. this wasn’t disaffected poors... it’s people who are wanting to stay in power - white bourgeoisie

        I'm sure that there were working class people mixed in, it is a numbers game and that is the vast majority of people. But being working class doesn't mean that you're a comrade. Do people think that the rank and file of the Nazis were made up exclusively of rich capitalists?

        Someone simply being against the current order doesn't make them a comrade either, fascists have been positioning themselves exactly as that since the beginning. The Trump movement is dominated by domestic US capital and petty boug wanting to preserve white supremacy and their priveliged positions.

          I think the distinction is though plenty of white working class may have loved to have been involved, but travel costs, time off, etc. make it more difficult for them where as a real estate broker from Texas can just jump on a plane and stay at the Hyatt and riot

        Yep. White bourg, white petty bourg or white wealthy lumpen. Class reduction stays poison to our movement
