i am doubtful that "epstein class" is as useful a phrase as you say. it doesnt make sense to me to describe it as a class, for example; a group of people who share an interest is not always a class, or else we would use the word to describe political parties. churches, etc. but i am curious what that messaging would look like, at its best. how do you use "epstein class" to get people to listen to a systemic critique of capitalism?

yes, contradictions of class society such as patriarchy precede the rise of capitalism and are not reducible to it. i contend differently with colonialism though, as the rise of capitalism and the spread of colonialism are connected in history very closely (and although you might label pre-capitalist empires as "colonial", the form that this took was considerably different from post-1492 colonialism). but we remain in agreement that the critique must be structural.
