I think there's a useful distinction between the following:
(1) Working class as defined by relationship to the mode of production (property-less and reliant on commodifying their own labor)
(2) "Working class" as a self-proclaimed identity, with its own powerful signifiers in the form of community, music, clothing, geography, etc.
(3) Being anti-labor (anti-unions, worker governance, minimum wage increases, etc.)
Very possible to be any combination or all of the above at the same time
