Bingo! You got it in one. And the more I look at 'privilege' the more I see it panning out in different ways. My mother took me to church, and that gained me social advantage over kids that did not get taken.Only one parent was an alcoholic, and not both - some poor kids had no positive influences atall in their early life.
I had an IQ of 110 or so. Again , I did nothing to get it. there are all sorts of things that people have tha they find helpful , or a real hindrance, and nothing can be done about that.
And we pass on what we get to our kids. we help *them8, more so than other people's. If the working class want to be liberated, it seems that ' getting on ' is the way to go, not going out and building a marxist style workers state.
