This post raises an interesting point about the limitations of the traditional Marxian class analysis based on means of production. The author argues that a more nuanced and accurate view of class can be achieved by looking at class as a relation to power, taking into account other forms of oppression such as race and gender. The example of the Goldman Sachs employee and the small business owner highlights the inadequacy of the means of production lens. The author concludes that class should be viewed through a complex lens of power relations, including intersectional domination.
