The article cited was harshly criticized but the larger problem of the working class remains somewhat enigmatic. The issue is not so complex: the old working class in the minds of Marx and his legacy no longer exists, in the US. But it is a desperate reality in the larger world of global capitalism. A new left must move on from Marxism and rethink the issue of the working class. There is no one solution and the core focus on the proletariat no longer resonates with the American medley of multiple classes overlapping. We have suggested a multi-faceted approach. The reality is that the working class is hardly ever defined at all. We have critiqued Marxism but tended to shy away from its classic focus on the working class, but it remains in the background as the key issue raised by Marx. The problem is that the working class has no simple defintion. If it means factory workers then the outsourcing generation has a remnant working class. And then the crucial step is an International. If it means 'all those who exist by wage labor' then virtually the whole work sector is working class. What are people talking about? All these classes are all mixed up together and we might step to a larger view of the Universal Class, the class of all classes. A transition to socialism must address all the different sectors of class: the prime focus on the working class takes in many cases all sharing a common subjection to capitalist domination.In this context outreach to the industrial working class takes its place in the context of a question: how will socialism deal with equality and the Universal class.
