Getting back to this: maybe we're defining 'class' differently, but I assume some of these sosloviya had a higher social status than others, and there would be differences between culture, language etc. between some of these groups. To me that counts as a class: a social hierarchy mainly determined by birth, with cultural and often economic consequences

He didn't.

One thing is not "a lot".

Especially when even that one thing wasn't actually bull****. He thought of that statement as bull**** because of his own views on the world. While "bull****" is something that refers to facts.

It's either naive or dishonest to frame opportunity for the beaten down as the oppression of the privileged or "exactly the same" as capitalist oppression though. Saying "bull****" is just a more direct way of saying that you're ignoring facts that make your statements untrue.

If you describe Soviet-style social engineering as offering "opportunity for the beaten down" then it's not Mucha who's ignoring the facts. If we're talking in the abstract, then yes, "opportunity for the beaten down" is a perfectly nice idea.

I feel like posting someone's private message is a rule violation. Either way it's a bitch move.

Mucha, you're a bright and talented guy. But you gotta develop a thicker skin. Who cares what some random guy on the internet thinks about you?
