Not long ago I tripled my income and am now well above the poverty line. I'm still a committed communist, as much as ever. I buy more treats now. I make charitable donations. I'm saving up for a down payment on a house. I hate my bosses, I hate HOA types, and my life's aspiration is to destroy capitalism. There's really no conflict that I see here.

I'm still below the national average income per worker, and you're barely above the average household income. This is not "ruling class", and won't ever be, as long as you stick to principles of what class means in our society, and wish to abolish class.

Also, if you've got time to lend your professional services/oversight to a budding radical organization that needs a bit of run-of-the-mill accounting work done, let me know.
