Is the social war just a broadened class war?

Question

Are worker struggles as irrelevant to insurrection as post-leftist make it sound?

Answer 1

no to both parts of this question.
social war is not just broadened class war. class war as a concept riffs off of marxist thought about the workers being the revolutionary subject - the group of people who are the engine for fundamental political change (note: "political" not "social").
and i don't think that post-leftists are saying that worker's struggles are irrelevant. they are (i believe) saying that a) the idea that workers are any more revolutionary than any other group of people is demonstrably false, and b) unions (as a force of the workers -- which they aren't really anymore, if they ever were) are not revolutionary, and c) the premise that "class war" is based on (see my second paragraph) is outdated and wrong headed.
but maybe you mean something different by class war, and by workers struggles, in which case being more specific might be helpful here?
