Yes, and also the various apparatuses of media they use to make this system appear not only good but the only possible system and trying any alternatives or even tweaking it slightly would lead to chaos and calamity. But primarily the 10% dictating the rules to preserve their own position
there is the petite bourgeoisie (am referring to medium, not small buisnesses) who work and own. There is managers who work for a living but still have some power and advantages of the owning class
The managerial class are just privileged work dogs. They aren’t anywhere closer to the true owner class than you and me.
They do defend the current power structures, as they benefit them more than the other workers they manage.
But also do cops. And politicians.
They are wrong, as dismantling the current system would also benefit them. It would benefit every single person alive. Even the true owner class.
They are alienated from humanity, which alienates them from they own humanity. We are alienated from ourselves and our communities.
Capitalism is a mindless beast that wants to commodify and digitise reality as a whole. Even create new realities to expand. It doesn’t care about people. Workers or owners.
A new system based on humanity, on life, would benefit every single living being on Earth. Capitalism destroys life. It doesn’t care about “class”.
Well, the problem isn’t taxation in it of itself, but the “democratic” goverments in place for the interests of the rich 10%

welcome to capitalism 🙃
I don’t think I’ve ever felt welcomed by capitalism
forgot the /s
This framing of being the “rich” versus the plebs is not really accurate.
It’s the wealth owners versus the workers. People who own for a living and people who work for a living. That’s it.
In that lens, the real enemy is the top 0.1% of society. And the swathes of workers that are alienated enough to defend their masters.

well put, but the class distinction is still the main contradiction of capitalism
