I've been offline more lately, working through this aspect of political networking [among other things]. Online politics seems to have the potential to increase both the positive & negative impacts of cross-class organizing re: social and intellectual capital transfer, synthesis or appropriation. But some of that is because, as you say, there isn't so much language for these relations beyond whether someone's totally blue collar or not.
I liked this site, class matters (http://www.classmatters.org/). It's simplistic and some older USA examples mightn't translate...but it does acknowledge that there's more class identity positions than Socialists or The Man. Mostly it's 101 exercises and thoughts about the skills to talk with each other across class when we're doing politics in mixed communities these days.
