the language of class struggle is not limiited to Marxism No, indeed not. You don't have to be a Marxist to see that as the working class got the vote and the labor movement got organized, that transformed the fight over monetary policy in the United States and in Europe. Under classic laissez faire/gold standard, if a country experienced a trade imbalance, the way to rectify that was to lower prices, cut wages, and lay off workers. Politically unthinkable now, as you have expressed. The number one human motivation is self-interest - "what about me?" However the Islamists work to achieve that goal, that's what they want. That's what everyone wants. If there are two classes, there is going to be class struggle.
