 | | Because the emergence of class was contingent on the emergence of the state, because the state was constitutive of the emergent class relations, the newly emergent state was the nodal point at which the stability of the social formation could be contested or protected. | | | Conflict over control of the state is the phenomenal form of the first well documented class conflict. | | | Class is not a free standing category; it is a relationship. |

| | MARXISM AND CLASS CONFLICT |
| | Revolution brings the proletariat to power, classes are eliminated, and the state that was necessary to protect the bourgeoisie, gradually disappears. | | | Moreover, the intellectual basis of state rule, the ideas justifying the use of state power and its distribution, are those of the ruling class. | | | At issue is whether it is authority or property relations that provide the most basic vehicle for understanding class conflict. |

| | The study, which appears in the premiere issue of the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, examines fees and client recoveries in 370 class actions recorded in court decisions from 1993 to 2002. | | | Eisenberg and Miller found that "the amount of client recovery is overwhelmingly the most important determinant of the attorneys' fee award." That may seem fair, but it's not when damages are absurdly high, or when a settlement is a payoff to make the lawsuit go away rather than appropriate compensation for real injuries. | | | A few years ago, the Blockbuster video chain settled a class action that accused it of charging inappropriate late fees. |

| | The Marxian Class Conflict Doctrine |
| | Class affiliation under capitalism is not a hereditary quality. | | | The champions of modern political freedom and laissez faire asserted: If the old laws establishing status privileges and disabilities are abolished and no new practices of the same character—such as subsidies, discriminatory taxation, indulgence granted to non-governmental agencies like unions to use coercion and intimidation—are introduced, there is equality of all citizens under the law. | | | But no such conflicts are present in a society in which all citizens are equal before the law. |

| | Conflict Theory |
| | This arrangement leads to two opposed classes, the owners of capital (called the bourgeoisie) and the workers (called the proletariat), whose only property is their own labor time, which they have to sell to the capitalists. | | | Economic exploitation leads directly to political oppression, as owners make use of their economic power to gain control of the state and turn it into a servant of bourgeois economic interests. | | | Marx expected that the resulting economic cycles of expansion and contraction, together with tensions that will build as the working class gains greater understanding of its exploited position (and thus attains class consciousness), will eventually culminate in a socialist revolution. |

| | Curiously, a return to the pre-trade unionist radicalism of the post-Civil War era may be more promising than any attempt to achieve a balanced "bargaining power" with international business. | | | Employers in their turn have formed extralegal and illegal associations repeatedly to carry on their side of the class war in San Francisco, usually counting on the SFPD as reliable backup or front line troops (1900, 1907, 1916, 1921, 1926, 1934). | | | The transmission belts of working class culture and memory were broken and the occasional attempts by workers to resist were forced out of the union structure (see "No Paid Officials"). |
