Am I working class enough?

How working class do you have to be to join the anarchist club?

Just reading Ian Bones blog about Plan B:  http://ianbone.wordpress.com/2012/06/10/plan-b-is-the-new-ian-duncan-smith/#comments

Enjoyed it I agree that Plan B is a hypocritical twat but the comments on the blog seem to suggest that you can´t be an anarchist unless you can prove a working class lineage. Isn´t that just mirroring elitism?

I´m not personally from a council estate, grew up in a small flat. The flat was in a suburb though so maybe that rules me out of the anarachist club. Is there an anarchist board I can send my credencials to to see if I´m working class enough to get in?

Or maybe there´s a generally accepted guideline for being working class enough. Any ideas?
