    I think you’re using a different definition of class to the standard. Once again, I want to point out you are disagreeing with pretty much EVERY major academic on this subject, including, but not limited to:

    Princeton

    LSE

    Harvard

    So I’m curious as to where you got this notion from? Even Adam Smith distinguished social strata.

      These academics peddle their own agenda. The reality is that there can’t be classes in a capitalist society. That’s the whole point of capitalism.

        So this is a “I’m right and everyone else is wrong” situation? The whole point of Capitalism is actually in the name: those with capital (i.e. capitalists) control those without capital (i.e. workers).

        You’ve decided that Adam Smith (the founding father of capitalism), the London School of Economics, Princeton, Harvard, etc are wrong. I wish I had half your confidence.

        Last reply because there’s no discussing someone that just goes “nuhuh just is” despite asking for sources and clarification.
