Dynamic Class Struggle

A modern conception of class conflict that moves beyond the static Marxist model of bourgeoisie vs. proletariat. It views class not as a fixed economic category, but as a fluid, multi-axis battlefield involving not just wealth, but also control over data, cultural capital, platform access, and precarious gig-based labor. The struggle is between the Owner/Platform class, the (shrinking) Stable Professional class, and the expanding Precariat, with alliances and conflicts shifting dynamically around issues like privacy, automation, and debt.
Example: "The protest wasn't just workers vs. bosses; it was Dynamic Class Struggle. Uber drivers (precariat) were striking against the app's algorithms (platform owner), supported by sympathetic software engineers (stable professionals) who wrote the code but didn't control it. The fight wasn't for a factory, but for control over data, pricing, and the very rules of the digital marketplace."

The analytical framework that attempts to model and explain Dynamic Class Struggle. It incorporates elements from sociology, economics, and network theory to map the shifting power relations in a digital, financialized, and globalized economy. It focuses on vectors of power beyond mere ownership of the means of production, such as control of algorithms, financial flows, attention, and legal/regulatory frameworks.
*Example: "Her thesis used Dynamic Class Struggle Theory to analyze the influencer economy. The 'owner class' was the social media platform, extracting value. The 'professional class' was the top 1% of influencers with managers and contracts. The 'precariat' was the millions of micro-creators fighting for scraps of attention, perpetually trying to hack an algorithm that benefits the owner. The struggle was over visibility and monetization rules, not wages."*

Middle class drug morality

The morality system that some drug users have that allows them to buy drugs from horrifically violent and ruthless gangs, while at the same time boycotting some legitimate business for a relatively insignificant reason.

The classic example is students in the 1990s who made a great fuss about boycotting Nestle chocolate, yet continued to buy weed from a drug supply chain that literally murders people. There are middle class people who refuse to buy a lasagne if it has packaging that can't be recycled, yet think nothing of snorting cocaine bought from an international cartel that murders innocent families, police officers and politicians.

If the boss of Tesco's killed the boss of Sainsbury's and all his family, then took over Milton Keynes with an armed militia, people might think twice about shopping there. Yet apparently this is fine if it's drug dealers doing it.
He's got middle class drug morality - he won't go in the corner shop because Mr Johnson once shouted at a dog, but he's off his gills on goofballs every Saturday night.

This Chardonnay dates from 2020 when the manufacturers should have been obeying the Covid lockdown instead of making wine. Therefore, I won't touch it. Fancy some crack? // You have middle class drug morality.
