Controversial book published by Openly Classist in 1998.
The Enemy Is Middle Class presents the controversial view that working class people are oppressed by a singular middle class (rather than by the ruling class, with the middle class in the middle).
Alongside this it includes valuable insights into how middle class people can dominate working class people in all areas of life, including revolutionary groups.
