      The social relations between classes stay the same regardless of the words used.

          China is doing a capitalism to increase productive forces before pushing the socialism button in ~2050, it's perfectly valid to not like the capitalist bullshit that comes along with that strategy

          okay but having cushy chairs on trains isn’t inherently a class issue. In this case I’d say it is, but yknow.

          The Nürnberg area has (or had) some S-Bahn trains (light rail) that were pulled by GDR made DR-243 electric locomotives and had modernized 80s "X-Wagen" behind it. The seating quality is vastly superior to any other newer trainset and there is also way more leg space etc.

        Travelling pretty often on commuter Deutsche Bahn trains, the 1. Class literally only has leather seats. The other difference is that there's a door to the compartment and the 1. Class is almost always completely empty. While some trains are full to the brim at rush hour times, there's like 20 seats and idk how many m2 of floor that is just left empty.

      can't like something that I will never find myself using, even if I was given a free ticket, I would probably pass because of all the douche bags that takes these business class rides, not to mention experiencing bourgie service that these rich ghouls expect.
