    class interests.

    See here's the issue here the ruling "class" in america does not see themselves as a class at all. This is a lumpen nation, with barely anyone being class conscious

      You don't think that business owners see themselves as similar to other business owners? Or that CEOs making clubs to hang out with other CEOs. Or that there exists secret societies of the ruling elite that have been meeting to further their own class interests over hundreds of years?

        Way less than you assume. I'm in a bourgeoise family that is upper class, they see themselves as just "middle class schlubs" despite clearly not being in that Tax Bracket

          But who do they hang out with? My guess is other people in the same tax bracket.

          And, when that is your bubble, any work done to improve your own situation is furthering the same interests of other people in that situation.

          Many people coordinate with their friends to push their interests, whether or not they know these are class interests or not doesn't change the effect.

            Retired firefighters and cops and these colombian dudes with an inexplicable amount of money who all have rebellious whores for daughters
