Wait, isn't socialism all about class solidarity? "Working together regardless of class to fight a common enemy" sounds more like nationalism where at the end the upper class profits most. Unless we are talking about a classless society but that's not "regardless of class" but "with no class distinction" which sounds very similar when I think about it.

Yes, you're correct here. Class collaborationism is a Social Democratic tendency, not a Socialist one.

Sounds more like social democracy, which can include managed capitalism and cooperation between workers and owners. To a degree.

Socialism is about making the working class the ruling class. It is explicitly about oppressing the bourgeois class, which is itself the current ruling class oppressing the working (and other) classes. The idea is to take the means of production and run it for ourselves rather than the profit of a class defined by merely owning factories, buildings, tools, etc.

The cartoon may be confused.

"All classes working together" as a counterpoint to socialism? Where have I heard of this before.....?

It's because it's impossible. The classes will always be in conflict until the communism is reached, so it depends which class is in power.

"if we all work together regardless of class" collaborationism is bourgeoisie propaganda and is not tolerated here, Comrade. Please face the wall.
