I’ve been having trouble explaining to liberal co-workers that there isn’t really an “Upper” or “Lower” working class. They insist that class as a relation to means of production is outdated and it makes more sense to measure it by income. What’s the most effective way to explain to them why this doesn’t work?
my thinking is that a high-waged worker depends of the boss paying the wage on time to pay for his cost of life, the same way as the low-waged worker depends on it. so…the income isn’t relevant to make them both proletarians
