Drake saying no to the conventional class system of lower, middle and upper class, but saying yes to the marxist distinction based on one’s ownership of means of production and the ability to profit off of another class’s labor.

Proletarians sell the value of their labor to bourgeois who profit off of the excess value the workers produce, and typically own the means and infrastructure of production, be it a factory or a farm, or in more recent and digital times, usually the “Cloud”, ad space, the social media platform (youtube, facebook, twitter), and digital marketplace (Amazon, who has monopsony power on digital sellers)

    Unfortunately I don't think everyone knows this. Many people learned about Marxism through memes (don't laugh) and those people maybe couldn't accurately explain the Marxist class theory.

    Also many people who came to Hexbear came by other means than being Marxist. Many people came to Hexbear for veganism, being LGBT, Ukrainian war coverage, etc. Some of them are Marxists, but not everyone who joins Hexbear is a Marxist. Not every person on Hexbear has a good understanding of Marxism.

    I think it's okay that they are here but you should be aware that not every knows everything that you know.
