#15 Class—Part 2
from The New Party Podcast · host Tom Williams, Andrew Jeffery, Kallum Pembro
In the second part of this mini-series, Tom Gann takes us through the Marxist analysis that says the working class is not actually a majority. What are the ways of understanding class that lead to this common assumption and how might activists think about building a mass party? How else might people and different struggles in society be understood and what are the relationships when you throw a party into the mix? Was Marx wrong about class? And what about the theory around value and labour that Marx was using to conceive his interpretations of class and what drives a potential revolution? Gann helps us understand and explore these things with his generous and engaging contributions.You can read the New Socialist here: https://newsocialist.org.uk/And follow Tom here: https://x.com/Tom_Gann
