Class
Class, according to [[Marx]], is similarly situated [[people ]] who share the same wants and [[needs]];
classes do not simply appear, they are slowly and often painstakingly formed. Through a
long and [[complex ]] [[process ]] of struggling together [[about ]] issues of local and later nationalinterest to [[them]], they gradually become a [[unity]], a [[true ]] class. (Tong, Rosemarie. [[Feminist]][[Thought]]: A More Comprehensive Introduction, 1998, p. 97-98.)
Class in [[Marxist ]] [[theory]], is both [[race]]- and sex-blind. (Chris Kramarae & Paula A. Treichler.
Amazons, Bluestockings, and Crones, Pandora Press, 1992, p. 96.)
Class "Is not defined by our [[relationship ]] to the [[mode of production ]] in the simple [[sense ]] thatif we sell our labor [[power ]] (for a day or a lifetime), or are part of the [[family ]] of someone(presumably [[male]]) who does, we are [[working]]-class. [[Being ]] working-class is a mode of [[life]],a way of [[living ]] life based on, but not exclusively defined by, the simple fact that we mustsell our labor power to stay alive. Class distinctions in [[capitalist ]] [[society ]] are part of a[[totality]], a mode of life [[structured ]] as well by sexism and [[racism]]...." (Chris Kramarae &
Paula A. Treichler. Amazons, Bluestockings, and Crones, Pandora Press, 1992, p. 96.)
The [[structure ]] of [[capitalism ]] produces two opposing classes: a [[ruling class ]] whose membersown and [[control ]] the means of production and a [[working class ]] whose members, [[lacking]]such ownership, sell their labor power to [[capital ]] in [[order ]] to survive. (Abramovitz, Mimi. Regulating the Lives of [[Women]], 1989, p. 19.)
