makes Peter so cross about the use of the word.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! The familiar TarBoard runaway horse is off again. I am not cross about the use of the word 'class'. The next thing is that I will be accused of wanting all discussion of 'class' stopped. Never! What I am saying is that I PERSONALLY do not find considerations of 'class' either helpful or agreeable when reading AR's books. That's all. If others wish to regard the Blacketts as Running Dogs of Capitalism, that's fine, comrade.
