Hall rejected reductionist Marxist class theory as early as 1954

Evidence

When I decided to stay on to do graduate work, I opened a discussion with some of the people in this broad Left formation. I remember going to a meeting and opening a discussion with members of the Communist Party, arguing against the reductionist version of the Marxist theory of class. That must have been in 1954, and I seem to have been arguing the same thing ever since. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 778
