Given the ever increasing concentration of wealth towards the top, either Marx was wrong about this or the proles value something more than money.
- TheCleric 3y agoOr, to change a phrase, if the proles have been convinced that they are temporarily embarrassed bourgeoisie.
- rayiner 3y agoDo you know any proles and how they think? For the most part, they don’t expect to become rich themselves some day. Rather, they have low confidence in the ability of government to improve anything, and high confidence that the government will make life harder for small business owners, or cause inflation, or other things that affect them. Again, circle back to my plumber. He pays enough taxes to care what the government does with the money. And he’s quite reasonably persuaded that whatever the government does won’t help him, but will probably make his life harder.
