My brief answer: part of the process of liberating ourselves from class
society is understanding the meaning of class.
In some ways, I find your questions puzzling since "class analysis" on the
composition and de-composition of the working-class must necessarily
define class(es). Yet, hasn't class analysis been a central focus of
"Open Marxism" and "autonomist Marxism"? (btw, as evidenced by the
statement of purpose of the aut-op-sy list which we are both members of).
Congratulations on your first post! May it be the first of many thought-
and praxis-provoking contributions.
In solidarity, Jerry
