Class structure persists while class consciousness has been politically disavowed

Evidence

Not only capital, but also elements of the post-68 left, have maintained that class is an outmoded category, unfit to deal with the multiplicities and complications of twentyfirst-century life. Yet these complications are in some respects a mirage, concealing the persistence of a class structure in which the majority of the population is marked as inferior. The reality of class continues, but without class consciousness. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 1908
