Kind and somewhat raw view of social strife (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

class war

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'view of social strife' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'kind and somewhat raw' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'kind' could be 'class' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'class' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'raw' is 'war' which is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for class war that I've seen before include "Conflict in Marxist theory" , "Revolutionary activity" , "preached by Lenin?" , "Conflict in society" , "Struggle the proletariat is scheduled to win" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
