    Class war needs the working classes and the middle classes to team up against the rich. The rich keep us divided, sniping at each other.

    When you totally understand what class and class war means

      I mean, that literally is how class war has often occurred in human history.

      The peasantry and proletariat (working class) rises up with the bourgeoise and beauracracy (the middle class) to overthrow the feudal class (upper class “rich”).

      Obviously, I doubt this liberal understands the nuances of class, both in bourgeois revolutions in feudal times or in the modern day where the “middle class” would probably be the educated home owners (they own property, but only to the extent that it reduces how much they are exploited, not that they are exploiters themselves).

      And certainly I doubt this liberal is talking about actually abolishing the upper class (big bourgeoise) by nationalising their property!

        Yes very fair. I think the OP is using ‘class’ as a synonym for ‘income’ which obfuscates class relations rather than demarcating them as your comment does.
