    You missed his wyld take, that Baristas aren't actually working class, and furthermore service workers in general aren't. Because they don't work the means of production :funny-clown-hammer:

      this was such an offensive bastardization of Marx; bastardizing Marx in a way acceptable to first world "socialist" LARPers is the only thing haz is good at. but it could literally be brushed off by bringing up the LTV. baristas turn inedible coffee beans and milk and turn them into a delicious, energizing drink. all service workers add value by taking the mass of commodities produced by industrial workers and distributing them to individuals (a very necessary role in industrialized society). but haz and his lot dont care, they just aim to obfuscate Marxism and make it unpalatable to those who would otherwise adopt it.
