Subject: RE: Class-obsessed folkies
As a marxist I am all for the abolition of the class system, but it's kept alive by those with a vested interest. As a sole trader I own the means of my own production therefore qualify as classless as I am not a member of the exploited working class or a member of the bourgeois middle classes who own the means of production and then employ others to do the work.

Folk music is generally classless these days but many songs have a political or social bent to them and these do seem to come form a working class viewpoint.

Howard - it's me, stigweard as was! Hope to see you for a tune on Friday!
