I am an automotive technician. I spend most of my time with other automotive technicians or other skilled workers. I’m working class, specifically, proletariat (industrial working class). I also have a PhD, which means that, on occasion, I’ve been in rooms with members of the bourgeoisie, mayors, foundation leaders, corporate bosses, etc. I can tell you from experience that I have little in common with the ruling class, who were almost always white, and much in common with the working class of all races. I understand the desire and I support the push for “land back” and reparations because of the singular experiences of indigenous and Black people in the United States specifically and more broadly in the Americas. But, I don’t want to be governed by the bourgeoisie of any race.
