Firstly, on an obviously individualistic level, workers compete with
each other for jobs and capitalists for businesses, just to stick to
the classes in bourgeois society. Mutatis mutandis things are similar
in feudal and slave society.

Second, there are conflicts between groups in the same class.

we have to distinguish between long range interests and short range
interests, classwide interests and narrower interests. It is in my
interest to beat the next guy out for a job. As a white male first
world worker it is in my interest to oppose affirmative action, keep
Blacks and women down and keep the third world poor. These are real
interest. That they are short range and partial doesn't make them
less real.
