all this might be true, but in the end the relation between variables would be rooted in types of experience..if that is true, the variables would be weighted differently by folk who occupy different class positions, presumably with the degree of importance for class going up as income level and/or sense of stability in social position went down. if you say that class is the underlying variable at all points, and that those who are in a position to not experience class as a regulating variable nonetheless experience class as determinant by its absence, then it seems that you the other variables different in terms of logical order and so short circuit the entire question.
this from someone who is by disposition on this kind of matter still a marxist (in some ways).
