Would not you agree that Moore's definition of the working class is based
on cultural stereotypes associated with blue collar behavior rather than
the relationship to the means of production? The only difference is that
he put a positive value on those stereotypical cultural traits, instead of
negative values most college educated 'liberals' associate with them.
