"Working class" is a construct.

I agree that solidarity works.

But also in every era there's a new direction or profession paying enough for solidarity to look worse.

And every time someone can kick the ladder behind them, they do.

Like Komsomol leaders did. USSR had something resembling democracy and social lifts two times - between civil war and Stalin's ascent and between Khruschev and Brezhnev (arguably during Stalin too, but with a lot of nuance). The problem with Brezhnev is not that he made something worse - it's that he didn't change anything, letting the social and power and economic structures crystallize.
