Abstract

To many people, the antagonism of the captial class and the proletariat class does not exist in the society of U.S.A with the middle class in the majority. Therefore, Marx's class analysis theory is not suitable for the American Scoiety . But since the end of the cold war and the reduction of the quantity of middle class, the realistic class basis in the American society shows more and more; on the oher hand, the expansion of the global capitalism has strengthened the anatagonism between capitalist nobles and proletariate poor people all over the world, therefore, the Marxist disourse strengthens its suitability gradually. Due to its criticism of traditional metaphyics, the idea of Whitehead shows the Unique value of the Class structure of the social oppression in the globalized era.
