This wouldn’t work today as often, craftsmen andllre paid more and are higher on social ladder than clerks. How would you adjust the criteria for modern-day working class check?

      Is it really so ridiculous that armed people blinded by a belief system could do that?

      I think that was just a set up for a fun question and probably wasn’t meant as part of a history lesson.

      Depends on how you define “nametag.” I work at Amazon in an office, and we all have to wear badges, from the drones like me to the senior VPs. Same thing will be true at a lot of companies.

        Is your name tag so that customers can call you by name, or is it a security badge that has your name/pic on it for ID purposes? Because they’re not the same, and nor are the jobs.

    What? I understand this doesn’t really matter for your question but bolsheviks did not… A giant chunk of the Party was intelligentsia, just see Lenin’s biography. IDK where did you find that BS, bolsheviks didn’t shoot people left and right.

    Do you own a property/house/unit/flat that someone outside of your family lives in and pays you to live there.

            Orwell be like “Yeah that guy? He’s a communist. How do I know… he’s. you know… black

            If people saw the original list he would universally be seen as an actual Nazi, which is why the Orwells are fighting so hard to keep it private. Based on what we know of him there’s no way in hell he didn’t also use “jewish” as the sole evidence someone was a communist.

        They said “do you own” a property that other people pay you to live in. That’s the upper-class part.

            Do you a) Own a property b) that you don’t live in c) that other people who are not family members live in d) and those people pay you?

            If not, you’re not the subject of that comment. If so, congrats on being in the very narrow overlap of the Venn diagram for waiters and landlords.

            Just because the owning class exploits you, does not mean you are not also exploiting someone.

            Plenty of stories about a long term “roommate” master tenant who charges other roommates market rate that exceeds the mortgage.

    Their ability to smile and nod while getting yelled at for something they can’t fix.

    May not be applicable to certain trades, but in general if you’re able to tell people to fuck off, you’re relatively financially secure.

    Stalin would visit everyone and ask for a single spoon of grain. If you were able to fill his giant spoon all the way, he would eat you alive.
