Answer to Question #101739 in History for Jessica

Question

In the article 'the Industrial Revolution: Class and Common Interest', when does Morris feel that one can say class consciousness and organization 'becomes a description and not a prediction?

Answer 1

Morris can say class consciousness and organization becomes a description when a person becomes conscious of sharing mutual grievances against capitalists and finally creates an awareness of him or herself as forming a social class. Class consciousness and organization also becomes a description if it has framed a person's understanding of reality and if a person belongs to the working class or part of the elite.
