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 national
interest 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]] that
if 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 must
sell 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 members
own 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.)
