Below is quite an old piece I wrote about anarchism and identity politics when I was still living in Essex and to a certain degree, still active in London.
Very sensible piece. Particularly on the divide-and-rule dynamic in class analysis. As for the 'middle class', they are the problem and always have been. It is, for the most part, a false and stupid identity that serves as an effective buffer between the owning class and the working class.

Yeah, I'm 76. I can relate to this problem, being white, female, grammar school educated, and thus over privileged a lot of the bloody time!
