Should communists support the actor's strike? (lemmy.world)

I support the writer's guild strike because they are not part of the bourgeoisie. The same can't be said of a lot of these rich actors who own a ton of capital themselves. So on the one hand, it kind of seems like the bourgeoisie is fighting the bourgeoisie on this one. On the other hand, not every actor in the guild is as successful as Tom Cruise, so some of those striking actors are working class.

Part of me wonders if people will use this exact sort of thinking to discredit the strike, without even knowing that most of them barely make money to survive.
