like i know these people are technically meant to be our allies because they don't own the means of production, but how the fuck do you spend more than my family's annual income on fast food? how are we meant to find common ground with people who are able and happy to do this? visible-disgust

edit: turns out this is a repost. sorry. but still, i standby my disgust

    I know this isn’t the main point of the post but I don’t think we should use the term middle class. It is based around the division of the working class and isn’t actually a different class as the people still have the same relation to the means of production. (As well as implying upper and lower class which are a judgement). If we mean those who work with the bourgeois, they are still working class but just class traitors. Being a class traitor doesn’t mean someone changed class

        What you are describing seems to be more petite-bourgeois. By using the term middle class, we are essentially trying to create a new class by dividing the working class
