This is provoking some reactions.

Socialists still talk so much about class and the class system...of course this guy is a sociologist so that's extra reason to talk about it, but how many people actually identify as a certain class anymore? Clearly not many. You can't act like 'how could you vote Conservative when you're working class?' to someone to whom the thought that they might be working class doesn't cross their minds!

Left wing thinking is woefully out of date, still engaging with potential supporters as if they belong to one oppressed mass, while these individuals carry on in what they perceive to be their own separate destinies.

That's the reaction it provoked in me anyway...

As well as media influence, we have to appreciate the extent to which this isolated, relentless working environment and culture of ‘flexibility’ militates against class consciousness, collective action and solidarity. The fact is that this is the experience of work for many people south Wales today. It is the polar opposite of the forms of work which gave rise to the sets of social relations which gave rise to the Labour movement.
