  You can have whatever definition you want. But for me, working class means just that - a person that has earned their bread through the work of their own hands, not through the exploitation of the labor of others, through rent-seeking, or from inheritance.

  I’m sure you can cite plenty of theory, but frankly, I don’t care. I prefer a definition of the term centered in lived experience. If you go off raw wealth, you just end up classifying entire nations as working class or bourgeois, at which point the term loses all meaning.

      Oh, you’re just a racist garbage person. Xenophobia does not become OK simply because the target are Americans.

      Well, if I guess if I’m irredeemably evil simply because of where I happened to be born, then you have no room to complain. I’m just doing what I was born to do, apparently. I’ll disregard your words, because they’re irrelevant to an evil monster like myself.

        FYI, this person told me to kill myself because I said they don’t handle criticism well and tell people to kill themselves.

        I can’t report it because I’m banned in the community for saying China isn’t perfect.

  You are quite literally in the global 1%

  That’s true for a lot of people in “first world” countries. One is ahead of billions of poor people basically for existing.

  You are saying that capitalists own the means of production, while “little capitalists” don’t.

  I don’t think its useful to lump in high-income professional work with the low end of capital accumulation. The sums may overlap, but the actual class interests don’t, at least not entirely. Good analysis should recognize the distinctions here.

  I think you’re thinking of the professional managerial class.
