Very well said! Not only do they have a greater ease of access, they also have lots more time on their hands because they aren't working usually. They can spend the time needed to read more of just about everything.
I'd also say, in my opinion, there are many people who recognize their privilege and becoming or identifying as a socialist can be a roundabout way of feeling like you're actually doing something positive for less well off or fortunate people without really doing anything particularly useful. It can help them rationalize inequality and feel less guilty
I entertain the thought that big sums of money don't find their way into decent people's pockets. How could you or I have the audacity to profit off of war? Not in the sense of having an investment in your 401k without realizing it, but to physically go to the middle east and sell arms to both sides of a conflict. You or I would never play the court system to increase the amount of oil you extract from mother Gaia. Therefore money never finds its way to us.
Natilie is, of course, not that bad. But those are my illustrative examples. For her, I wouldn't even say she lacks empathy. I would be curious to the point of inquiry whether she has a lack of reference for the violence of poverty or the bloodthirsty psychosis of US foreign affairs. For example ask her about how she came to the conclusion that dems are at all the harm reduction party.
Does having big sums of money always rot your brain away like this?

Mostly yeah. Why be Engels and hang out with cool, debutante commies when you could be a disgusting liberal instead

Why is it that so many socialists come from the middle or upper classes, then?
They seem quite detached from the conditons that would create socialists. Even Engles was a wealthy factory owner.
