“The middle classes could become a revolutionary class, taking the role envisaged for the proletariat by Marx,” says the report. The thesis is based on a growing gap between the middle classes and the super-rich on one hand and an urban under-class threatening social order: “The world’s middle classes might unite, using access to knowledge, resources and skills to shape transnational processes in their own class interest”.
The report comes from those crazed Marxists at the Ministry of Defence in the UK.
Interesting, isn’t it, that the ruling class is quite aware of class differences whereas the working class, especially in the US, often isn’t. A joining together of the under-class and middle class is the worst nightmare of the ruling class.
