But you can elevate your class in the Western world.

After a little (big) laugh, let’s assume this is true:

In that case, the thing about the class system is that the upper classes can also elevate themselves. The rich become super rich, millionaires become billionaires, and the bourgeoisie become oligarchs.

All this at the expense of further precariousness for the lower classes. The modern middle class is the lower class of a few decades ago, and the modern lower class is practically in misery.

And today, those in the lower class are already working as quasi-slaves, not to move up the social ladder, but to avoid falling even further.

Every unequal system reaches the same conclusions sooner or later. The misery of the majority is Rome, and these systems are the roads that lead to it.
