Recording of a WSM branch education that looks at 'what is class' and outlines many of the 
different classifications that have been used before asking whether this is right approach 
to the question at all. Followed by a brief discussion of class in relation to a popular

position is bourgeois ---- The new left & EP Thompson ---- The 60's, self management &

class - 1907 Amsterdam conference ---- Class defined by struggle

Discussion
Joe Duffy & the public sector wage cut and orthodox marxism
Racism & housing
Lenin, Malatesta, the syndicalist wave and the need for specific organisation

Educational was given late September 2009, the occasional electronic interference is 
because it was recorded on a iPhone and I forgot to turn off the phone radios.
