Social Structure?

Question

What is meant by the term low class conciousness ???

Answer 1

It means being aware that one is a member of the under class, (not "low" class.  That is an insulting term.) and feeling a solidarity with your fellow worker.

Its the knowledge that only by collectivizing will you and your peers ever have any chance at political power.

Answer 2

The ragged trousered philanthropist is a good book to read to demonstrate class consciousness.

It is only lower because it has been made that way. Before greater class mobility the working class was enriched by those who had learning and stayed within the struggle.
