There is a lot of confusion about the working class. When socialists talk about the 'Working Class', in general they mean a class that has the socialist conciousness of itself, that organises itself and 'creates' itself through struggle, theory and practice. A class is not just the pulp or confused and unorganised rabble of the majority of the populations of the world of today. Sometimes, the term working class is used, loosely and for brevity, to refer to those, any person, who work. The confusion is, politically, very important, as it has created a passive idea of 'belonging' to a class, like an object or an animal, could belong to a 'class' of objects or to a herd. That idea opens the way to passivity, indifference and resignation, precisely the problems that have brought Labour to its knees or, rather, to take the knee. Socialism, in a very real sense, is action, not passion. Socialism is struggle... war.
