My post was too long so I had to post here: https://pastes.io/07p5nd9dxc

Edit: first correction to the paste, our trans community is represented far above the general population. Around 11% of our community is trans, while in the world only 1% of people are. I also only gave absolute numbers for some reason in the paste so here’s the percentage points: 10% trans women, 1% trans men, 7.7% nonbinary.

    Yeah it’s perfectly fine, labour aristocracy isn’t really a class in the Marxist sense but more of a shorthand to explain why some proletariat align themselves with the bourgeoisie instead of their actual class interests; they receive a share of the surplus value in some way, and this creates false consciousness.

      Honestly, the term “labor aristocracy” has a lot of flaws in the overall concept.

      It’s like the term “lumpenproletariat” in that sense.
