Whole lota "leftists" who don't feel the proper amount of hatred and contempt for the medical-industrial complex. Scientists are just beaucrats for knowlage, and exist in the same soup of Ideology as anyone else. There are no politically neutral discoveries, the racist computer is just the most obvious case.

Why does everyone always regress to this dumbass idea that class is defined by income. loving idiots should at least read some wikipedia articles or something.

They do a pretty good job of convincing people that their salaried middle management are the actual elite.

I think part of the problem is that it's hard to conceptualize just how much has been extracted from our society by a tiny number of people. "MILLIONAIRES GET THE BLADE" is like, ok, fair enough. But the actual decision-makers in our society who have real, personal power through their economic weight are so very far above them that they're invisible. The guy currently running Amazon's consumer business on a day to day basis, who is set to retire early at 52 next year and enjoy his winnings, is probably worth something like ~150-200 million dollars (based on a 2018 valuation here https://wallmine.com/people/1370/jeffrey-a-wilke). That's far, far too much money for a single person to have. It's ludicrous wealth. But this guy is management. His immediate "boss" who actually owns the machine is worth one thousand times as much. People can't even wrap their brains around this. Take the people you actually see on the daily with too much money who drive a brand new Benz and eat out at a nice restaurant every night. Multiply that by a thousand and you get the guy I described above, who can own a private jet and a mansion in every city he wants to visit more than once. Multiply that by a thousand and you've got Jeff Bezos. And the politicians, if they're national politicians and have played their cards right, are generally in between the first two people somewhere.

I have no issue wrapping my brain around the concept that Jeff Bezos ought to meet Lady Guillotine, and that so do Mr. Amazon Consumer Business Manager and Mr. Brand New Benz, given the fact that they willfully allied themselves with Capital and reaped the benefits of exploitation.

alarming lack of support for the proposal that we guillotine all tenured professors but i guess some people are too in love with theory and its peddlers to understand the counterrevolutionary threat that they pose

He already wrote an episode of Young Sheldon where the show's namesake discovers and proves communism is the correct system of resource distribution but by the end of the show is shown that "Your entire town including your family will murder you in cold blood if you don't worship the golden calf."

But the actual decision-makers in our society who have real, personal power through their economic weight are so very far above them that they're invisible. Phrased another way, if you -own an average US home free and clear-, no mortgage left, it is slightly higher fraction of your fortune to take the bus down to a pizzeria and back for a $2 slice and coke combo as it would be for this guy to fly first-class from LA to NYC for the chef's menu at Sushi Masa and a bottle of Dom Perignon. Jeff Bezos could buy a McLaren P1, drive it to dinner, hand the keys to the valet and say "keep it", serve each of an entourage of 50 three pounds of Kobe beef washed down with a bottle of the world's most expensive wine, buy a second P1, drive it home, and bail out while it rolls into the ocean.

there's lots of different classes with lots of different negative effects take, for example, a bunch of six-figure earners fighting public transit plans in order to keep the poors away and scheming to have their 99% white neighborhood secede from the city so their tax dollars won't go to black students in the poor areas. they may not have the same world-altering economic power as a single billionaire, but they're still a plague upon their surroundings

If it wasn't for the top-most class then they'd be rolling in it. It's like LBJ said: "If you can convince the six-figure earner they're better than the best five-figure earner, they won't notice you're picking their pocket. Hell, give them somebody to look down on, and they'll empty their pockets for you."
