Episode notes
Class Oppression Misconception
- Many philosophers mistakenly believe that class oppression is simpler than other forms of oppression.
- Lillian Cicerchia argues that class is poorly understood, hindering our understanding of other oppressions.
Class Division Harm
- Class divisions create unique harm within capitalist societies, regardless of differences among group members.
- Competition hinders solidarity, increasing vulnerability to arbitrary power, especially for workers.
Critique of Class Reductionism
- The claim that external forces hinder worker solidarity mirrors neoclassical economics.
- This view wrongly assumes automatic affinities among workers and ignores the market's role in division.
