Class will always exist but it’s been proven that a strong middle class is a sign of a bountiful economy that actually works for it’s workers.
The shrink of the American middle class is exactly what’s caused most of the economic issues in America.
We allowed our middle class to be destroyed in an attempt to raise a few of those people to the top. Because upper middle class people were duped into believing they were closer to being rich than they were to being poor
Class should absolutely be something we strive to abolish. The idea that some people deserve to benefit disproportionally from the workings of our society is nonsense.
I think they’re arguing that the bigger the middle, the better. It seems like you two might be arguing the same thing. Making everyone middle is functionally equivalent to removing classes
Yeah but striving for a “middle” class implies the existence of an upper and lower class. If you’re already in fantasy land (uncorrupt government) why not make the fantasy as ideal as possible? Answer: for conservatives the ideal is having an upper and lower class because conservatives seem to inherently think they deserve more than other members of society, even if the reality is that they’re lower class, they need the existence of an upper class so they have someone’s boots to lick. Since they’re just one big idea away from being upper class obviously.

There is, and always has been. You’re putting the cart before the horse. We are so far removed from removing class, it’s not worth discussing. Expanding the middle class is an achievable goal, and works towards what you’re talking about.
Didn’t mean to seem argumentative and my response was probably better meant for the parent of your comment but yours had some things I wanted to mention too. Sorry if it seemed aggressive.
A good reminder that liberalism is based around unfounded assumptions and charlatan, unimaginative predictions of the future. Everyone used to think kings were inevitable, too.

It’s about as realistic as magically removing corruption in a capitalist government…
Sure, but you can work towards reducing corruption.
Impossible. In all two thousand years has never been done.
Reducing corruption? What are you smoking? It’s happening right now in Ukraine, just off the top of my head.
Why are you arguing with me? I just tried to clarify the misunderstanding between you two

Wholesome AF. Enjoying the discussion.
I want a middle class so strong everyone is in it. In fact let’s get rid of the upper and lower classes

Democracy has existed since ancient Greece and Rome
Kings are still necessary in the sense that we need someone in charge
The amazing historical and political analysis of the liberal, everyone.
Wtf a monarchist
No I’m saying that you could call a president a king as they have the same job
