Who exactly the oppressed class under the Public Finance mode of production (if it can even be considered a distinct mode of production) would be is the important question. I think as we transition deeper into a “Gig Economy” world, the answer is the Lumpenproletariat.

Hooray someone gets it. However if you take this statement to it's logical conclusion using Marxist theory and combine it with the typical political leanings of lumpenproles you get a ban from this instance!
