“Class buyout” is one of the key terms in pragmatistic interpretive theoretical apparatus coined by H. A. Tanhaei since 1994. The term is used for explaining the framework of social stratification. Based on his historical studies in Iran, H. A Tanhaei has produced a meta-theory in social stratification in which the marginal stratum within the dominant class and its inward layers such as jobless, addicted people, lumpen, a considerable number of prostitutes, hoodlums, homeless, tramps and those who have got no roles within the social division of labor and thereby make living either with no jobs or through fake jobs. Peddling or smuggling are examples of Marginal stratum in subordinate class. The lumpen are in fact social groups within the marginal stratum of subordinate class who are sometimes bought out by the dominant class as hirelings mercenary employed against the class struggle strategies. The hireling’s social category migrates from subordinate class to the dominant class through class buyout. For instance, Shaban Jafari or Shaban “the brainless” played an important role in overthrowing Mosaddegh’s government in the 1953 Iranian coup d’état. This and some other instances of contemporary Iranian history indicate class buyout. In Sadeq Hedayat’s novel, Dash Akol, there is an antagonist character called “Kaka Rostam” from subordinate class who play a role at the service of some layers of the major stratum in dominant class. In some specific situations the oligarchs in the dominant class employ some popular, influential celebrities or strong athletes or hoodlums through deception or financial greed to make them act against the struggles of the subordinate class or against the main forces of social movements. Class buyout is a good example that shows how symbolic is the nature of social reality or the framework of social division of labor. The explanation of social reality finds possibility through pragmaticistic interpretive theoretical framework based on people’s perceptions and interpreting the meaning of class objects. Social reality can be traced back in institution, organization, and history.
