| Comment | I entirely agree with you in that the separation into working/middle/upper class is entirely pointless in the modern world, but not that the world divides neatly into two - it's now a spectrum.
I'm a worker, but I have a pension. That pension is formed of investments in publicly-listed companies, which profit from the labour of workers. So I simultaneously profit from my own labour, as a salaried worker, while owning capital that profits from others'.
So am I not both worker and capitalist? Isn't pretty much everyone in our society some proportion of both? |
