Comment on Who are the "middle class" supposed to support in the class stuggle?
despoticruin@lemmy.zip 3 weeks agoHonestly you can just remove the ambiguity and put the number right at 1 billion dollars of net worth. Up to that point is obscenely wealthy, but a billion is the line that guarantees the majority of your wealth came directly from the exploitation of the masses.
You can’t ethically make a billion dollars as an individual when the working class sees 1/10,000th of that in a year as doing fairly well in most areas.

Ethically, the bar is much, much lower. By the time you have $25M net, you had to have exploited someone to get there and you’d have the clout to make at least local politics bend in your favour.

Chill out, dude. Somebody’s gotta fund your revolution.

Eh… There’s definitely ways to obtain that much without exploitation, although rare.
