Umm - no serious conflict within a class?  Does anyone really believe
that conflict between classes precludes conflict within classes?
Especially within non-dominant classes, whose members often accept the
values and interests of the ruling classes.  I'd say that is one area
where vulgar Marxism is NOT right 90% of the time, except that would
be unfair to vulgar Marxism which mostly does not oversimplify Marx
quite to that extent.
