"Set of people occupying the same social position and sharing a community of destiny and interest, without necessarily being aware of it" - Online Dictionary of Economic Alternatives [1]
The concept of class was widely spread by Karl Marx, who identified different places occupied by groups in capitalist production. The classes he identified were: the working class, and the capitalists (owners of the means of production).
This vision is broader for Paulo Freire, Brazilian pedagogue and philosopher. For him, social classes are social groups identified according to their position in the general process of oppression. There are classes that oppress and classes that are oppressed. This vision makes visible the struggles of women, trans people, queer people, racialized people, Indigenous people, people with disabilities, etc.
In Memo on the new ecological class, Bruno Latour identifies the struggle of the ecological class. The ecological class is that which defends the preservation of the conditions of habitability of the Earth. This class delineation includes a wide range of social groups that were not united under the prism of economic class.
