White collar workers for socialism

[BAMslam15]

I know it may seem that most people think of white collar as encompassing rich, greedy corporate fatcats but it's not really that. I'm talking about the people who go to work everyday in dress shirts and neckties and still get treated like dirt by CEOs and bosses. The struggle should not be limited to blue collar workers (i.e. mechanics, carpenters, janitors). What do you guys think? Do these people get the right to consider themselves part of the socialist struggle? Thanks :)

Anyone who sells their labour power for a wage, and does not earn their money through capital, is part of the working class. i.e. everybody who earns a wage through working. There are just two classes; working class and capitalist class.

Having seen My mom work for ten years at a white collar desk job for just above minimum wage, I have experienced this. People seem to think that white collar workers don't go through lots of bullshit, physically and mentally, but really, between her and my dad (who works for a large industrial fortune 200 corporation) her job was actually worse on her health.

Not to say my dad's job wasn't fucked up at times due to his activism for workers' rights, but I think if she had stayed with her job then it would have killed her soon afterwards. She now works for the same company as my dad, and she is far happier. Plus they are about to have a union voted in.

Honestly, I guess the point of this is just to show that because they aren't doing physical activity, doesn't mean they aren't in pain resulting from their job.
