No, I didn't mean you are in the bourgeois class. ( I'm in the petit bourgeoisie
myself , whether I like it or not )
I'm thinking a socialist is someone who supports working class interests and opposes
bourgeois class interests, and aims to end capitalism. This is why a socialist aims to
support working class(wide) unity.
Non-socialists of all types - trade unionist, social-democrat or liberal - in some
sense supports both working class and bourgeois class interests, seeing them as
compatible in some sense or ways.
But I don't see how one can be loyal to both classes ( whether in one of the main
classes or not ). Or to the specific comment in the thread, I don't see how "real
(enduring) workng class solidarity" could be achieved by those also supporting
bourgeois class interests. Maybe you are saying temporary and situational working
class solidarity ?

If you're one of those you don't identify
w/the bourgeois class. Just because you're
in a class doesn't mean you serve its interests.

But don't you have a conflict of interest and loyalties between the working
class and the bourgeois class ?

Plenty, if you're a smart trade unionist,
social-democrat, or even a labor-friendly liberal.

CB: Speaking of (working) class solidarity, isn't that a socialist concept ?
What use do non-socialists have for working class solidarity ?
